Abstract
An apparatus for making spunbonded nonwoven from continuous thermoplastic filaments has a spinneret for downwardly emitting the continuous filaments in a filament direction, a cooling chamber directly beneath the spinneret for receiving the filaments from the spinneret and cooling the spun filaments with cooling air and having relative to a longitudinally extending machine direction a pair of longitudinal sides extending parallel to the machine direction and a pair of transverse sides extending substantially perpendicular to the machine direction between the longitudinal sides. Respective air-supply manifolds on the transverse sides feed cooling air therefrom into the cooling chamber. The cooling air is extracted from the cooling chamber at the longitudinal sides. A stretcher directly beneath the cooling chamber receives and elongates the cooled filaments, and a device deposits the stretched filaments as a band and conveys the band off in the machine direction.
