Extrusion head for producing synthetic and the like textile yarns

Claim 1

An extrusion head for producing synthetic and the like textile yarns, comprising a channel for feeding the plastics material stock to be extruded, said channel opening into an extrusion chamber of substantially cylindrical shape having a die of annular configuration located at the peripheral edge of said extrusion chamber and provided with a plurality of calibrated holes evenly distributed thereon with respect to said feeding channel and defining an extrusion direction, a blower positioned inside the area confined by said annular shaped die, wherein according to the improvement said blower has a feeding duct extending parallel to said extrusion direction beneath said extrusion head and a discoidal nozzle on said duct defining at its periphery a single annular slit opening at the inside edge of said annular die and directed perpendicular to said extrusion direction thereby to form in operation a single laminar centrifugal discoidal jet of cooling air impinging perpendicularly against the just extruded yarns close to said die holes.
