The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method as well as a
system for extruding continuously molded bodies for producing filaments
or staple fibers from an extrusion solution, such as a cellulose solution
containing water, cellulose and tertiary amine oxide such as
N-methylmorpholine N-oxide. In comparison with the methods known from the
prior art, profitability can be increased in the production of
continuously molded bodies (3) if the extrusion rate v is set to a value
v=BT.sup.0.3310,000(1/r.sup.2). In a system, profitability can be
enhanced if the number r of rows is r=[(B/v)10,000T.sup.0.33].sup.1/2. T
is here the fiber titer in T dtex, v the extrusion rate in m/min, r the
number of the rows of extrusion duct orifices (12), and B an operational
parameter which is not more than 4 and at least 0.5.
