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 7):
The manufacturing system of  claim 1 , wherein the pressure regulation system is adapted to maintain a chamber pressure within the interior portion of the chamber between about 0.5 millibars and 1.2 millibars as the at least eight streams of polymer melt pass through the interior portion of the chamber.
