Most synthetic fibers are created though extrusion, by forcing a thick, viscous liquid through a spinneret to form continuous, semi solid filaments.
Why Filters?
• Protect plugging of polymer melt filter / screen packs / spinnerets Reduce cleaning frequency
• Reduce cost of replacing damaged filters
• Reduce production downtime
• Particulate contaminants results in defective fiber causing higher breakage/ton
• Breakage per ton
• Consistent fiber quality (minimum breaks per ton)
• Lower overall cost / higher selling price
