Synopsis:

Today, approximately 20 million t/year of synthetic fibers are produced, about 45% of the world fiber production. Although the industry has grown rapidly, until now there has been no English language text covering the design of machines and equipment for the production of synthetic fibers — from raw materials to the final product.

Written by one of the pioneers in the field, this book is divided into two parts: materials specific processes, the corresponding installations, machines, and process data; and designs and calculations for different materials and varying function parameters.

Synopsis:

This guide to plant design and machinery construction and operation is written by one of the pioneers in the field. It offers a comprehensive overview on processes, machines, and plant layouts for the production of synthetic (man-made) fibers from an engineering point of view. Detailed technical drawings, plus numerous formula and diagrams, illustrate the entire fiber-technical knowledge for the design of various production steps, from raw materials through polymerization, and spinning to textured and technical fabrics.
