Positioning
MOFSorb® is positioned as a MOF materials and application-engineering platform rather than a simple powder-supply line. The core capability links synthesis, process scale-up, post-processing, characterisation, shaping and application development.

Application integration
What differentiates the technology?
- Two complementary synthesis routes: continuous mechanochemical extrusion and batch solvothermal synthesis.
- Scale-up decisions based on phase identity, process repeatability, safety, transferability and downstream characterisation — not crystallinity alone.
- Ability to move from crystalline powder to approximately 1–2 mm granules through post-processing.
- Use of real XRD, BET and selected microscopy evidence to qualify materials and refine synthesis routes.
- Custom modified / composite MOF development for application-specific requirements.
Manufacturing platform
Two complementary production routes selected according to framework chemistry and scale-up behaviour.
Mechanochemical production
1–2 kg/day
Current practical production capacity; material-dependent
- Twin-screw co-rotating extruder
- Continuous / semi-continuous process logic
- Control of feed rate, screw speed and barrel temperature
- Optional liquid / solvent dosing where required
- Process configuration adapted to MOF chemistry and morphology
Solvothermal production
200–500 g/day
Current practical production capacity; chemistry-dependent
- Batch synthesis in controlled reactors
- Static or mixed thermal processing depending on route
- Solvent / modulator chemistry controlled by framework
- Washing / solvent exchange / activation as required
- Pressure-compatible configurations where needed
