The invention discloses a preparation method of ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene fiber,
fiber and
spinning equipment, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene powder with a
solvent, uniformly swelling, and feeding into a twin-screw extruder for fully dissolving to obtain a
spinning solution; spraying the
spinning solution through a spinneret plate, drafting in an air gap, and cooling in a
cooling bath to obtain gel silk; (2) carrying out shrinkage balance on the gel silk; then carrying out pre-extraction and pre-
drying to obtain gel filaments with low
solvent concentration, and storing the gel filaments in a filament containing
barrel for later use; and (3) sequentially carrying out multi-stage extraction,
drying, multi-stage drafting and winding on the jelly silk with low
solvent concentration to obtain the ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene fiber. Through the steps of shrinkage balance, pre-extraction and
drying treatment on the gel silk, adverse effects caused by solvent
precipitation and gel silk shrinkage in the standing process of the gel silk can be reduced, the fiber
fineness can be controlled to be stable and uniform, the production process is short, the occupied area of equipment is small, and the investment is low.
