Abstract
A process for producing a polyester fiber by melt spinning a polyester having at least 90% or more by weight of poly(trimethylene terphthalate), the process including rapidly cooling to solidify molten filaments extruded from a spinning nozzle, winding the solidified filaments around a first roll heated at from 30 to 80° C. and having a peripheral speed of from 300 to 3,500 in/mm without the filaments being wound thereon, delivering the filaments to a second roll heated at from 100 to 160° C. to be wound around its peripheral surface, whereby the filaments are drawn at a draw ratio of 1.3 to 4 between the first roll and the second roll having a peripheral speed higher than that of the first roll, and subsequently winding the filaments on a take-up winder having a peripheral speed lower than that of the second roll.
