One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a spinning pack, a yarn manufacturing apparatus including the spinning pack, a yarn manufacturing method using the yarn manufacturing apparatus, and yarn manufactured by the manufacturing method. The spinning pack includes a spinneret having a nozzle unit, a heating unit for heating the nozzle unit, a pack body surrounding at least a part of the spinneret, and a spinning block surrounding the pack body, wherein the spinneret includes a first surface which defines a storage space while facing at least one surface of the spinning block, and a second surface facing the first surface, wherein the nozzle unit includes a plurality of discharge holes and protrudes from the second surface; and wherein the heating unit is disposed at the outer side of the nozzle unit.

A process for the production of spunbonded nonwoven (1) is shown, wherein a spinning mass (2) is extruded through a plurality of nozzle holes (4) of at least one spinneret (3, 40, 50) to form filaments (5) and the filaments (5) are drawn, in each case, in the extrusion direction, wherein the filaments (5) are deposited on a perforated conveying device (10) to form a spunbonded nonwoven (1) and wherein the nozzle holes (4) of the spinneret (3, 40, 50) are arranged along a main axis (6) oriented in a transverse direction (12) to the conveying direction (11) of the conveying device (10) so that the spunbonded nonwoven (1) formed on the conveying device (10) extends in this transverse direction (12). So as to enable the spinning width and the basis weight distribution of the spunbonded nonwoven to be adjusted reliably and, respectively, to allow the basis weight distribution to be kept constant during operation by means of the process, it is suggested that the spinning mass throughput (31) of the nozzle holes (4) is adjusted variably along the transverse direction (12).

A spun-blown non-woven web is disclosed which is formed from a plurality of fibers formed from a single polymer having an average fiber diameter ranging from between about 0.5 microns to about 50 microns; a basis weight of at least about 0.5 gsm; a tensile strength, measured in a machine direction, ranging from between about 20 g to about 4,200 g; a ratio of tensile strength, measured in the machine direction, to basis weight of at least about 20:1; and a ratio of percent elongation, measured in the machine direction, to fiber diameter of at least about 15.

An apparatus for making nonwoven from continuous filaments has a spinner for spinning the filaments, a cooler for cooling the spun filaments, and a mesh belt that moves in a generally horizontal travel direction and that passes through a deposition location where the spun and cooled filaments are deposited on the mesh belt to form thereon a nonwoven web. A nose roller defines a deflection zone over which the mesh belt is deflected from its travel direction downstream of the deposition location. At least one lift roller above the mesh belt downstream of the deposition location separates the nonwoven web from the mesh belt at a separation location at a first spacing upstream from the deflection zone of the nose roller. A treatment device for the nonwoven web is provided downstream of the mesh belt in the travel direction and receiving the nonwoven web from the lift roller.

A textile recycling method receives textile-waste-to-be-recycled, sorts the waste to isolate cellulose-containing articles from non-cellulose-containing articles, and re-sizes at least some of the cellulose-containing articles to create feedstock. The feedstock is processed in a cellulose solvent reactor, which has at least one ionic liquid. The ionic liquid dissolves intermolecular cellulose bonds of the feedstock to create a spinning dope. Cellulose fibers dissolved in the cellulose-bearing spinning dope solution are extruded in a cellulose coagulation bath reservoir to reconstitute at least some of the cellulose fibers, and the reconstituted fibers are wet-spun to form a continuous cellulose thread that is commercially indistinguishable from virgin fiber thread. Synthetic fiber material is vacuum-extracted or mechanically extracted from the cellulose-bearing solution and recycled into a continuous synthetic thread. Original color of textile-waste-to-be-recycled can be retained or removed, and new color can be added.

Processes for making high-performance polyethylene multi-filament yarn are disclosed which include the steps of a) making a solution of ultra-high molar mass polyethylene in a solvent; b) spinning of the solution through a spinplate containing at least 5 spinholes into an air-gap to form fluid filaments, while applying a draw ratio DR.sub.fluid; c) cooling the fluid filaments to form solvent-containing gel filaments; d) removing at least partly the solvent from the filaments; and e) drawing the filaments in at least one step before, during and/or after said solvent removing, while applying a draw ratio DR.sub.solid of at least 4, wherein in step b) each spinhole comprises a contraction zone of specific dimension and a downstream zone of diameter Dn and length Dn with Ln/Dn of from 0 to at most 25, to result in a draw ratio DR.sub.fluid=DR.sub.sp*DR.sub.ag of at least 150, wherein DR.sub.sp is the draw ratio in the spinholes and DR.sub.ag is the draw ratio in the air-gap, with DR.sub.sp being greater than 1 and DR.sub.ag at least 1. High-performance polyethylene multifilament yarn, and semi-finished or end-use products containing said yarn, especially to ropes and ballistic-resistant composites, are also disclosed.
