Essentially dry materials are obtained by mechanically dewatering water-moist rubber, prepared by emulsion polymerization and precipitation, to give a compact material having a rubber content of at least 50%, by a process in which the previously dewatered rubber is fed to the feed section of a twin-screw extruder which has screws rotating in the same direction and possesses, in succession in the conveying direction, at least two back-up zones and two associated dewatering orifices, each of which may be provided with a retaining screw, and at least one kneading zone, one devolatilization zone and finally one discharge zone, which may be closed by a die lip, and the water separated off is discharged at the dewatering orifices in liquid form.
