  • The design of a home-made modified extruder for making fibers is presented.

  • The performance of a home-made modified extruder for making fibers is evaluated.

  • The mathematical analysis of the mass flow shows a very good agreement with experimental data.

  • The evaluation of the performance of the modified extruder could validate the patent of this equipment.

  • Fibers made of recycled PET are producing by a Mexican home made extrude.
