<p>A fiber-manufacturing apparatus (10) including a spinner (12), fixed to one end of a rotatable shaft (14), and equipment for supplying at least one molten thermoplastic material (78, 80) to the spinner is provided. The spinner includes a radial wall (16) and an outer peripheral wall (18). The radial wall extends radially out from the shaft and has an outer periphery (84). The peripheral wall is disposed around the outer periphery of the radial wall and has a plurality of orifices (20) for centrifuging fibers (22) from at least one molten thermoplastic material. The spinner is operatively adapted to be radially balanced during the centrifuging operation. By being so balanced, the spinner is less likely to exhibit temperature-induced deformation that introduces undesirable process variables during the fiber-manufacturing process.</p> |
