Abstract

A process for producing multifilaments which has the steps of: melt spinning a polyolefin at a first temperature; cooling the spun filaments with a first chill means which is of a non-contact type and is held at a second temperature; cooling the filaments at a third temperature with a second chill means which is of a contact type for forcibly cooling the filaments; and drawing continuously the filaments at high draw ratio in-line with heating rolls having a predetermined surface temperature so that the filaments cooled at the third temperature are directly and continuously treated by the heating rolls.
