Filament liquid quenching apparatus

摘要

Melt-spun thermoplastic filaments are liquid quenched in an apparatus equipped with baffles for quieting the surface of said quenching liquid and a weir for maintaining a constant level of quenching liquid. The liquid is removed from said filaments by an apparatus containing an enclosed chamber which is partially defined by a perforated surface over which said filaments pass in contact therewith, said chamber being in communication with a means for removing fluids therefrom.
