and equal divisions of the flowable thermoplastic material in the flow path through the linear flow equalizer 40 the number of symmetrical and equal divisions will depend among other variables upon the width of the spin pack 32 in the cross machine direction and therefore the width of the nonwoven web being formed by the spunbond system not shown with which spin beam assembly 10 is operative coupled with renewed reference to fig3 seal 87 provides a fluid tight junction between a downstream side of the filter support plate 86 and an upstream side of the combining plate 42 the combining plate 42 has internal liquid passageways 118 fig2 configured to receive the sheet like flows of flowable thermoplastic materials from each of the linear flow equalizers 40 and to combine the flows to generate a bicomponent filament arrangement such as a sheath core arrangement or a side by side arrangement in a sheath core arrangement for example the flow path within the combining plate 42 of one of the two polymers is interposed and brought into coaxial alignment with the flow path of the other of the two polymers and directed the spinneret plate 44 the spinneret plate 44 has multiple spinneret holes or orifices 120 fig2 registered with liquid outlets in the combining plate 42 from which bicomponent filaments 122 fig2 are extruded for subsequent solidification attenuation and collection as a non woven web with reference to fig6.
