Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of nylon threads, filaments, films and the like
IPC: D01D1/06
Filed: 1942-01-30
Abstract: 555,130. Artificial filaments. BRITISH NYLON SPINNERS, Ltd., LOASBY, G., and POWNALL, L. Jan. 30, 1942, Nos. 1285 and 1286. [Class 2 (ii)] Artificial threads, filaments, or the like are obtained from a synthetic fibre-forming polyamide (Nylon), by feeding it in solid form from a hopper to a heated melting grid, passing the molten nylon to an extrusion pump for spinning, and simultaneously passing a heated inert gas through the hopper to maintain the moisture content of the nylon at not more than 0.25 per cent. by weight. The threads produced are of more uniform quality, denier, and extensibility, and have a higher tenacity than threads produced from a similar nylon having a higher moisture content. The moisture content of the nylon, e.g. polyhexamethylene adipamide, may be reduced to 0.15 or even 0.013 per cent. The nylon flakes may be subjected to the action of a stream of hot inert gas when they are in a storage vessel and when they are in the supply hopper of the spinning apparatus. As shown, flakes of nylon containing 0.5-1.0 per cent. of moisture are placed in hopper 1, completely filling it and also the space above the melting grid 3 which is made of a coil of stainless steel tubing. The top portion 4 of hopper 1 is tightly closed, and nitrogen, heated by passage through a high pressure steam jacketed vessel 5, is forced through tube 6 into hopper 1 and is drawn off through outlets 7 and 8. The current of hot gas removes moisture from the flakes in hopper 1, and also removes any gases or moisture liberated by the flakes when they are melted on the grid. The pressure of the nitrogen is sufficient to prevent diffusion of air into the apparatus. The walls of chamber 2 and the melting grid 3 are heated by circulating a hot fluid through them. The molten material forms a pool in reservoir 10 below the grid, and is forced by gear pump 12 through the filter pack 14 and then through spinneret 15 into a cooling chamber. Instead of heating the nitrogen by means of steam, it may be heated by another heat transfer medium, e.g. a mixture of diphenyl and diphenyl oxide, or by means of a gas furnace or an electric heating element. Specifications 461,236 and 461,237 are referred to.
