Quench system for quenching extruded filaments, includes cross-flow quench apparatus positioned below spinneret, and blocking implement

摘要

A quench system comprises a cross-flow quench apparatus designed to be positioned below a spinneret (10) for extruding molten polymers into filaments (14), for directing cooling air to the filaments; and a blocking implement secured to the quench apparatus for blocking a portion of the cooling air to the filaments.
