APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A PLURALITY OF SYNTHETIC YARNS

The invention relates to an apparatus for producing a plurality of synthetic threads optionally as mono-threads or composite threads, having a number of groups of spinnerets for spinning at least two groups of threads. The spinneret groups are assigned a number of godets for taking off and/or drafting the threads and a number of groups of winding stations for winding up the threads as mono-threads or as composite threads. In order optionally to be able to produce mono-threads or composite threads without taking readjustment measures, according to the invention a common thread collecting device is arranged in a thread run between the spinneret groups and the godets, wherein the thread collecting device is assigned a first take-off godet of the godets in order to form a first vertical thread-run plane and a guide roller or guide godet arranged downstream of the take-off godet in the thread run in order to form a further thread-run plane.
