Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the processing of a thermoplastic polycondensation polymer by supplying the polymer in finely distributed form to a first vented extruder in which the polymer is devolatilized at a temperature below its melting temperature. The polymer is then placed in a second extruder where the polymer is transported below the melting temperature of the polymer over a first length of the screw from the inlet of the extruder, with constant evacuation of volatile components by means of a vacuum exhausting device at a vacuum of less than 10 mbar and the polymer is compressed and melted over a second length of the screw and then leaves the extruder as an end product of a semimanufacture.
