Melt Spinner X3

The AT225 Laboratory Melt Spinning Machine is designed for small-scale fiber production and research applications. It facilitates the controlled melting, extrusion, and solidification of polymers, pitch, and asphaltene-based materials into continuous fibers. Using high-temperature heating and inert gas (N₂) pressure, this system ensures material purity and precision, making it ideal for laboratory-scale research and development.

Equipped with an advanced heating and spinning system, the AT225 allows researchers to study fiber formation, optimize spinning parameters, and develop new materials for high-performance applications such as carbon fiber research, polymer science, and materials engineering.
