Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing a polyester fiber which cools a plurality of molten polyester fibers from a spinnert 2 to a temperature below a glass transition point, then takes up the fibers by a non-heating first godet roller at a take-up speed less than 4,000 m/min, heat-stretching the fibers between the first godet roller and a non-heating second godet roller 10 inside a normal pressure steam atmosphere (first heat-treating device 8) higher than the glass transition point of the polyester fiber, and heat-treats the fiber by a pressurized steam atmosphere (second heat-treating device 9) higher than 105.degree. C.
