APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION OF HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE MODULE AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION

摘要

When, with the use of centrifugal force, at least one end portion of a hollow fiber membrane accommodated in a module case is fixed to the module case by bonding with a potting resin, the fixing by bonding is performed in a highly liquidtight or airtight manner. The provided apparatus for producing a hollow fiber membrane module has heating means (7) and temperature detection means (8) and is equipped with a jig (4) for supporting end portion potting working part (3). In the apparatus, on the basis of the magnitude of difference between the temperature of the jig (4) that has been detected by the temperature detection means (8) and the previously determined set temperature of the jig (4), the heating capacity of the heating means (7) is controlled within a temperature precision range of ±4ºC to the set temperature. Any leakage of potting resin can be avoided by reducing the pressure at the end portion potting working part (3) to vacuum by the use of vacuum means (17) simultaneously with the application of centrifugal force.
