Method of fabricating a perforated plate for a hollow fiber separator apparatus, and devices obtained thereby
First Claim
1. A method of fabricating a tube plate for a hollow fiber separator apparatus, from a set of hollow fibers whose end is embedded in a resin, comprising the steps of subdividing a set of hollow fibers into a plurality of elementary bundles, enclosing at least a first end of each elementary bundle in a rigid reinforcing element, and sticking said first ends together using a resin in order to form a reinforced tube plate.

Abstract
A method of fabricating a tube plate for a hollow fiber separator apparatus, from a set of hollow fibers with an end of the set being embedded in a resin, wherein the set of hollow fibers is subdivided into a plurality of elementary bundles, at least a first end of each elementary fiber is enclosed in a reinforcing element and the first ends are stuck together using a resin in order to form a reinforced tube plate. The invention also relates to tube plates and to hollow fiber separator devices.
