Melt Spinning Process:

Melt spinning is the most convenient and economic method for polymer fiber manufacturing at industrial
scales. In melt spinning, the fiber-forming substance is melted for extrusion through the spinneret and then
directly solidified by cooling. Melt spinning uses the heat to melt the polymer to a viscosity suitable for the
extrusion through the spinneret. As the name indicates the chips of fibers are melted and extruded through
the spinneret to obtain the fibers. It is used for the polymers that are not decomposed or degraded by
temperatures necessary for extrusion. Polymer chips obtained from previously reacted chemical
combinations are melted and then pumped through a spinneret in an air chamber. The extruded stream
cool and solidify into continuous filaments and are then drawn out of the chamber twisted and/or processed
further and subsequently wound onto spools. This method of spinning is suitable in manufacturing the
polyester yarns.

Melt spun fibers can be extruded from the spinneret in different cross-sectional shapes (round, trilobal,
pentagonal, octagonal, and others). Trilobal-shaped fibers reflect more light and give an attractive sparkle
to textiles.

Pentagonal-shaped and hollow fibers, when used in carpet, show less soil and dirt. Octagonal-shaped
fibers offer glitter-free effects. Hollow fibers trap air, creating insulation and provide loft characteristics equal
to, or better than, down.

Requirements for Melt Spinning:

The polymer should not be volatile

The polymer should not decompose in the molten state and the melting point.

Polymer should be 30 degree centigrade less than its decomposition temp.

Special Feature of Melt Spinning :

High production ( SPG. Speed 1000-2000 m/min)

Hazard, Non Toxic

No environment pollution.

No solvent required .
