Spinnerette assembly for forming multicomponent hollow fibers

   
   

The invention provides a spinnerette assembly for forming multicomponenthollow fibers of the sheath/core type. The spinnerette assembly contains an extrusion orifice and a core forming material passage in communication with the extrusion orifice. A hollow needle extends through the extrusion orifice in a concentric manner to define an annular passage surrounding the needle. The core forming material passage includes a core forming material inlet port extending from a surface of the spinnerette assembly to an interior of the assembly and a transverse passage extending from the core forming material port to the annular passage surrounding the needle. A bore forming fluid passage communicates with the interior of the needle. The spinnerette assembly contains at least one sheath forming material passage also in communication with the extrusion orifice.
