1. Plant for making continuous yarns (30) made of silicon material, comprising at least an extrusion station (12), provided with an extrusion body (31) into which said material is able to be introduced in an amorphous condition, and extrusion means (15) able to allow said material to exit from said extrusion station (12) along an extrusion axis (D), and a vulcanization station (16), located downstream of said extrusion station (12), at a determinate distance (“

  • L”

    ) therefrom, characterized in that;

    said extrusion means (15) are disposed so that the extrusion axis (D) is substantially vertical,the plant also comprises a drawing unit (18), disposed downstream of said vulcanization station (16), and able to impart on the elastic yarn (30) exiting from the extrusion station (12) a drawing value in a ratio comprised between 2 and 6 before it enters the vulcanization station (16), and hence at least along said distance (“

    L”

    ),wherein said distance (“

    L”

    ) is adjustable to vary the drawing conditions of the elastic yarn (30) and to obtain a final yarn (30) with a thickness at least less than 0.7 mm, advantageously in the range of 0.4-0.3 mm and less, and having the desired orientation of the molecular chains.
