Abstract

See full text

A fibrous product including a mixture of different shaped fibers is formed utilizing a spin pack assembly including a spinneret with at least two spinneret orifices having different cross-sections. In addition, the formation of the fibrous product is enhanced by controlling the pressure drop upstream from the spinneret orifices, which in turn facilitates effective control of fiber denier. A metering/distribution plate is preferably provided in the spin pack with channels having selected dimensions that control the pressure drop of molten polymer flowing through the spin pack. The metering/distribution plate can be retrofitted into existing systems and easily exchanged with other metering/distribution plates to enhance formation of the fibrous product with different fiber shapes.
