Summary:1. Field of the Invention A method for preparing a hollow fiber-type separation membrane from high density polyethylene is provided, which includes the steps of: melt-spinning a mixture of a high density polyethylene and a diluting agent to produce a phase-separated undrawn hollow fiber; detecting a tensile strength of the undrawn fiber during an alternative and repetitive winding and unwinding procedure between two bobbins, said undrawn fiber being drawn during the alternative and repetitive winding and unwinding procedure; reducing a rotation speed of one of the two bobbins when the detected tensile strength is larger than a predetermined value; and increasing a rotation speed of one of the two bobbins when the detected tensile strength is smaller than the predetermined value to yield the hollow fiber-type separation membrane.
