  • Patent number: 10507430
    Abstract: A hollow fiber membrane sheet-like object in which a plurality of hollow fiber membranes is aligned in parallel with each other and fixed to each other while both end faces of each of the hollow fiber membranes in a longitudinal direction are open, wherein at least one belt-like binding portion made of an elastic body having an elongation percentage (E) stipulated by JIS K6251 of 100% or more and extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is formed at each of both end portions of the hollow fiber membrane sheet-like object, and the plurality of hollow fiber membranes is fixed to each other.

  • Publication number: 20170189856
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a hollow fiber membrane sheet comprising: accepting a hollow fiber membrane bundle, which is in a sheet state, of a length set in advance in which a plurality of hollow fiber membranes are aligned using one or more accepting means containing a drive roll; forming fixing parts at which the hollow fiber membranes are fixed in a widthwise direction of the hollow fiber membrane bundle using a fixing means after accepting the hollow fiber membrane bundle of the length set in advance; and cutting the hollow fiber membrane bundle at the fixing parts or on the vicinity thereof.

  • Patent number: 9283727
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a hollow fiber membrane sheet-like object including: a connecting process of forming a ring-shaped section by winding a hollow fiber membrane capable of being continuously supplied, around two or more rolls so as to surround the two or more rolls and connecting a leading end portion of the wound hollow fiber membrane and an adjacent hollow fiber membrane, or of putting a ring-shaped section created in advance, on two or more rolls, and connecting a leading end portion of a hollow fiber membrane capable of being continuously supplied, to the ring-shaped section; a winding process of winding the hollow fiber membrane around the rolls by moving the leading end portion of the hollow fiber membrane by rotating at least one roll of the two or more rolls; a fixing process of forming a fixed section by fixing the hollow fiber membrane wound around the two or more rolls, into the form of a sheet in a width direction; and a cutting process of performing cutting-ou

  • Publication number: 20150060348
    Abstract: Provided are a hollow-fiber membrane unit in which the membranes are prevented from decreasing in permeation rate and the membrane area per unit volume has been rendered suitable and which can hence treat water in an increased rate and a hollow-fiber membrane module which is for use in such hollow-fiber membrane unit. The hollow-fiber membrane module comprises either a hollow-fiber membrane sheet composed of hollow-fiber membranes disposed in a sheet arrangement or a stack of such sheets and a box-shaped water collection member which holds the hollow-fiber membrane sheet or stack, wherein one surface of the water collection member has an opening that is filled with a fixing resin (potting resin) and is for fixing the hollow-fiber membrane sheet stack.
