Apparatus for quenching melt-spun filaments

摘要

An apparatus for melt-spinning and cross-flow quenching of synthetic organic polymer filaments is improved by incorporation of a tubular delayed quench assembly extending from the spinneret and projecting into the cross-flow quench chimney. The projecting portion of the assembly is foraminous. An improvement in filament decitex uniformity is achieved especially with fine filaments.
