A method and an apparatus for producing staple fibers, wherein in a first step a tow is formed from melt spun filaments and deposited into a can, and wherein in a second process step the tows of a plurality of cans in a can creel are withdrawn, treated, and cut to staple fibers. To obtain as much as possible short times of interruption between the first and second process steps, the invention provides for depositing the tow in the first process step directly into the can accommodated in the can creel, with the cans of the can creel being filled one after the other. |
