The present invention is directed to a process for forming a plurality of
multi-layered filaments from multiple thermoplastic synthetic polymers and
an apparatus containing a melt spinning beam comprising an orthogonal beam
having disposed within said beam multiple polymer inlet passages each
communicating with separate multiple coat hanger distribution manifolds,
separate filters connected downstream of each coat hanger distribution
manifold, a spinneret connected downstream of said filters with separate
polymer flow passages communicating with separate exit orifices for
spinning of said multi-layered filaments.
