depositing device 3 and a can 4 arranged downstream of the depositing device 3 the can 4 is supported on a can traversing device 5 the spinning device comprises two spinnerets 6 1 and 6 2 which are arranged in a parallel side by side relationship each of the spinnerets 6 1 and 6 2 connects via a melt supply line 17 1 and 17 2 to a melt source not shown on their underside the spinnerets 6 1 and 6 2 comprise a plurality of spin holes from each of which a fiber is extruded the spinnerets 6 1 and 6 2 may comprise more than 80 000 spin holes thus each of the spinnerets 6 1 and 6 2 extrudes a fiber bundle 7 1 and 7 2 downstream of the spinnerets the spinning device 1 normally comprises cooling devices which generate a cooling air stream for cooling the fiber bundles in the present embodiment the cooling device has been omitted likewise the number of the spinnerets of spinning device 1 is exemplary thus three four five or even more spinnerets may be arranged in a parallel side by side relationship with their fiber bundles being each combined to a tow to combine the fiber bundles 7 1 and 7 2.
