Special-shaped spinneret plate for spinning heavy denier yarns

A special-shaped spinneret plate for spinning heavy denier yarns comprises an elliptic body (1). 90-192 spinning holes (2) are arranged on the body (1). One side of each spinning hole (2) is a feed inlet. The other side of each spinning hole (2) is a discharge outlet. The plurality of spinning holes (2) are arranged in a three-layered concentric ellipse structure from inside to outside. The spinneret plate is capable of producing glazed heavy denier yarns of 300-500D. Due to heavier filament number, diameters of micropores are slightly larger than those of round holes of products of conventional specification, and flow speed of melts in the micropores can be lowered effectively. In addition, the ellipse spinneret plate is different from conventional round spinneret plates, distribution of the micropores is facilitated, enhancement of cooling effect of spun fibers is facilitated, cooling uniformity of the heavy denier yarn is improved, and dyeing effect of the heavy denier yarn is also improved.
