A method of producing lyocell fibers by spinning a solution of cellulose in an organic solvent through an air gap and into a spin bath in which there is provided a cross-draught of air in the air gap.

Process of making cellulose filaments

A method of producing lyocell fibres by spinning a solution of cellulose in an organic solvent through an air gap and into a spin bath in which there is provided a cross-draught of air in the air gap.

A spinning cell for producing lyocell fibre by spinning a solution of cellulose in an organic solvent through an air gap into a spin bath has nozzles to create a cross-draught through the air gap.

Spinning cell

In a system for the production of solvent-spun cellulose tow, trash and other undesirable material is detected by a device which projects a light beam across the tow and a receiver for the beam which initiates a signal if the beam is obscured beyond a predetermined amount.

Manufacture of solvent-spun cellulose fibre and quality control means

A jet assembly for spinning cellulose fibres from a solution of cellulose in an amine oxide solvent in which the jet assembly includes a generally top-hat shaped spinnerette having a series of downwardly directed holes through the base of the spinnerette and an outwardly directed flange around the periphery of the vertical walls of the spinnerette, the jet assembly including a heated housing engaging with the flange and being bolted to the flange, insulation being provided on the underside of the jet assembly over the outer periphery, the combination of heating and insulation regulating the temperature of the jet assembly for optimum spinning of an amine oxide cellulose solution.
