Abstract
A system for making polymeric fibers can comprise a main extruder configured to receive a polymer feedstock composition. The main extruder can have an outlet in fluid communication with a transfer line configured to receive a polymer melt from the main extruder and transfer the polymer melt in a flow direction that is towards a spinneret. A side arm extruder assembly can be positioned along the transfer line between the main extruder and the spinneret. The side arm extruder assembly can comprise an outlet positioned within the transfer line to inject a colored polymer melt concentrate into the transfer line.
