Abstract: A device for the continuous application of spin finishes to a spinneret as well as a process of said application are described. The device has a flat distribution body which can be attached and detached to the exit face of a spinneret. Holes are provided in the body corresponding to the spinneret orifices for melt spinning of filaments. Also the device includes a fastening member for pressing the distribution body on to the exit face of the spinneret. This member has a feeding orifice for the spin finish.The device may also include seals arranged above and below the distribution body. The distribution body may be sieve-like or consist of a perforated foil or of a foil having channel-like recesses linked with each other and an inlet orifice for the spin finish. The foil may have raised portions that serve as baffles and that are arranged in a pattern between the individual recesses.
