ABSTRACT:
An assembly and process for continuously forming flexible cutting line for use in rotary vegetation trimmers of the type having two or more monofilament lines mounted on a common spool. The line produced by the present invention defines two monofilament strands joined together in a side by side relationship by a severable bond. The process includes the step of extruding one or more pairs of molten filament strands in proximate disposition through an extrusion die, directing the strands together about a collecting guide adjustably mounted in a cooling quench bath to initiate the forming of a severable weld between the adjacent strands. The elevation of the collecting guide within the quench tank is adjustable to vary the strength of the formed weld. The joined strands are then pulled in a parallel array through the quench bath and about a plurality of guide members therein to effect the crystallization and bonding together of the pairs of strands. The strands are then concurrently stretched and heated to effect parallel alignment of the molecular chain in the strands. The strands are again heated in a relaxed disposition, wetted and gathered on spools for storage and transportation.
