A machine is large enough to meet the needs of the market
ActivLayrs production process started with New Zealand Hoki. After extracting collagen from fish skin, Iguana turns collagen into nanofibre by an electro-burning method. In addition, kiwifruit, grapes and hyaluronic acid are added to ActivLayr during the electrospinning process.
According to the company, nanofibers are 100 to 500 nanometers wide, and when used in skin care, it can improve absorption.
Revolution Fibers has been producing nanofibers for almost a decade and Iguana can help them increase their production capacity to meet their domestic and international needs.
“There is a growing number of industries embracing what nanofibre can do for performance and gaining a competitive edge. That will only increase as research uncovers even greater opportunities in life sciences. The scope for what you can do with nanofibre feels limitless,” said Revolution Fibres CEO Iain Hosie.
Iguana will allow Revolution Fibers to quadruple production, allowing Revolution Fibers to make large orders from Asia. In the future, the company hopes to increase its production scale.
Brent Tucker - operation manager of Revolution Fibres said: “The Iguana is a fantastic collaboration between the best Kiwi minds from the science and engineering worlds. It allows Revolution Fibres to increase production to meet demand, but it also means we can grow the production of ActivLayr in New Zealand.”
Iguana is custom designed for Revolution Fibers and is seven meters long with over 9000 components, this is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Only in this size, can the collagen for luxury skin care be provided enough.
“That’s where we come in. For us a machine is a machine and in the case of Revolution Fibres, they had a very good idea of what they wanted. We’ve found a niche in supplying bespoke machines like the Iguana. So making one-off, complex machines makes us unique both locally and internationally,” revealed Roger Evans, the co-founder of Stafford Engineering.
