Abstract
The invention relates to a system for producing endless molded bodies from a molding compound. For producing the endless molded bodies, spinning means are used comprising an extrusion head through which the molding compound is extruded to form endless molded bodies, a precipitating bath containing a precipitant, and an air gap between the extrusion head and the precipitating bath. After extrusion, the endless molded bodies are first passed through the air gap, and then through the precipitating bath. For facilitating control of the system, it is provided in accordance with the invention that the system comprises a control area arranged in front of the spinning means and accessible by the operating staff, and that the air gap is arranged freely visibly in a height freely defined by a central vision range of an operator standing upright in the staying area and looking substantially in a horizontal direction.
