Spinning machine for wet-spinning process

A spinning machine for continuous production of a filament, comprising:

• means for wet-spinning an extruded filament;
• at least one roller pair of mutually inclined longitudinally extending rollers for receiving said extruded filament and processing said filament, said roller pair defining axially therealong a wet zone initially receiving said filament and a drying zone downstream of said wet zone in a direction of travel of successive turns of said filament looped around said rollers of said pair, said turns progressively advancing in said direction along said rollers,
• the axes of said rollers being skew to one another and having projections in a vertical plane including an angle between said axes and projections in a horizontal plane including an angle between said axes,
• said rollers consisting of a main roller and an auxiliary roller of a smaller diameter than said main roller,
• a ratio of diameters of said auxiliary roller to said main roller being substantially between 1:2 and 1:4,
• one of said rollers being substantially horizontal and vertical projections of said axes intersecting substantially at one third of the lengths of said rollers,
• said rollers being journaled at bearing locations at ends of said rollers,
• coordinates of said bearing locations of the other of the rollers being offset from corresponding coordinates thereof in an imaginary coplanar orientation of said rollers and an imaginary parallel orientation of said rollers in two mutually perpendicular coordinate directions.
