A spunbond system for manufacturing a non-woven web of fibers includes a
spin beam assembly configured to process and deliver a plurality of
polymer streams for extrusion through spinneret orifices. The spin beam
assembly includes a plurality of manifold sections within the spin beam
assembly, each manifold section including a distribution pipe configured
to transfer a respective polymer component to a plurality of piping
sections extending within the manifold section and a heat transfer medium
that flows within the manifold section and around the piping sections
extending into the manifold section so as to maintain the respective
polymer component at a selected temperature. The system further includes
a quenching zone configured to receive and quench extruded filaments from
the spinneret orifices, a drawing unit in communication with the
quenching zone and configured to receive and attenuate the quenched
filaments, and a forming surface configured to receive drawn filaments
emerging from the drawing unit and form a non-woven fibrous web on the
forming surface.
