Abstract:
A system for manufacturing bulked continuous carpet filament that is adapted for providing a polymer melt and dividing the polymer melt into a plurality of streams (e.g., at least six or eight streams) to increase a surface area of the polymer melt. The plurality of streams is then exposed to a pressure that is below approximately 5 millibars. The streams are then recombined into a single polymer stream and formed into bulked continuous carpet filament. In various embodiments, an extruder, such as a multi-screw extruder, is used to divide the polymer melt into the plurality of streams.

Claim (Index 13):
The manufacturing system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the first extruder section is a first extrusion means; the second extruder section is a second extrusion means; the pressure regulation system is a pressure regulation means; the third extruder section is a third extrusion means; and the spinning machine is a spinning means.
