Abstract

The present invention concerns a spinneret plate ( 1 ) for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric, having multiple non-round holes, which are similar to trilobal or multiarmed holes ( 3 ) in particular, for polymer flow outlet to produce filaments, in which identical holes are positioned in rows offset relative to one another. At least a first row ( 2 ) has a positional arrangement of the holes that differs from the positional arrangement of a second row ( 7 ) of rows through rotation of the holes.

Claims (6)

1. A spinneret plate for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric, said spinneret plate having multiple non-round holes of a trilobal or multiarmed cross section through which polymer may flow to produce filaments, wherein identically oriented non-round holes are positioned in a first row, and additional non-round holes are positioned in at least one additional row adjacent the first row, wherein the holes of the first row are offset to the holes of the next adjacent row, and wherein the holes of the first row have a positional arrangement which differs from the positional arrangement of the holes of said at least one additional row through rotation of the holes.

2. The spinneret plate according to claim 1 , wherein the spinneret plate has at least two different types of holes.

3. The spinneret plate according to claim 1 , wherein the spinneret plate is divided into at least two regions, in which the first region and the second region each have two or more rows of identical holes.

4. The spinneret plate according to claim 3 , wherein the first region has a positional arrangement of the holes which is rotated by 180° in relation to the positional arrangement of the holes in the second region.

5. The spinneret plate according to claim 3 wherein at least the first region and the second region are separated from one another by a gap.

6. The spinneret plate according to claim 5 , wherein the gap is the same size or larger than a distance between two rows of identical holes.
