Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4124685A1] Plant for producing non-woven fabric, which comprises a descent path (3) along a vertical axis (Y) between an upper inlet (4) and a lower outlet (5), an extrusion unit (29) in order to introduce filaments for forming non-woven fabric into the descent path (3), a cooling unit (6) in order to cool the filaments, and a stretching unit (7) placed below the cooling unit (6). The stretching unit (7) comprises a stretching duct (70), which is extended with seal continuity between an upper mouth (71), having a specific first transverse section (S1), and a lower mouth (72), having a specific second transverse section (S2). The stretching duct (70) comprises an adjustment section (74) which is extended being narrowed, with a given convergence angle (α1), from the upper mouth (71) to a narrow section (73) having a specific third transverse section (S3). In addition, the stretching duct (70) comprises a diffusion section (75) which is extended being widened from the narrow section (73) to the lower mouth (72) with a specific divergence angle (α2). The plant also comprises ventilator means (8), adapted to generate a flow of gas traversing the stretching duct (70).
