    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of coil tube evaporators for concentrati ng aqueous extract solutions from the extraction of polyamides based on poly amide (6). A method for the production of polyamides based on polyamide (6) comprises the steps (b) one-phase or two-phase reaction of aqueous extract s olutions from the extraction of polyamides based on polyamide (6), which are possibly enriched with caprolactam, aminocapronitrile, aminocaproic acid, o r mixtures thereof, in a pre-reactor at pressures in the range of 5 to 40 ba r and temperatures in the range of 150 to 300°C, wherein in the two-phase re action, the evolved gaseous phase can be separated from the liquid phase, c) discharge of the reaction mixture obtained from step b) by means of a coil tube evaporator at a temperature in the range of 220 to 300°C with a reducti on of pressure to approximately atmospheric pressure and separation of a gas eous phase, producing a liquid phase, d) further reaction of the liquid phas e obtained from step c) at temperatures in the range of 240 to 300°C and pre ssures in the range of atmospheric pressure to 2 bar, with a separation of a gaseous phase.

    Abstract: The procedure for granulating polymer melts (21) in a granulation chamber (20) to manufacture polyamide, comprises flooding the granulating chamber with a nitrogen/air in relation to the polymer melt, injecting the polymer melt into the granulating chamber and expelling the nitrogen/air from the granulating chamber by a liquid once the polymer melt starts to flow through the cutting device. After expelling the nitrogen/air, a further polymer melt is injected into the chamber. In the granulation chamber, a cutting device is accommodated at a pressure above the ambient pressure. The procedure for granulating polymer melts (21) in a granulation chamber (20) to manufacture polyamide, comprises flooding the granulating chamber with a nitrogen/air in relation to the polymer melt, injecting the polymer melt into the granulating chamber and expelling the nitrogen/air from the granulating chamber by a liquid once the polymer melt starts to flow through the cutting device. After expelling the nitrogen/air, a further polymer melt is injected into the chamber. In the granulation chamber, a cutting device is accommodated at a pressure above the ambient pressure. The nitrogen/air shows a pressure, with which the granulation is carried out. The polymer melt in the cutting device is cut into pellets. The granulated pellets with the liquid are discharged from the granulation chamber and subsequently separated from the liquid. The pressure in the granulation chamber is 2-15 bar. An independent claim is included for a device for granulating polymer melts in the granulation chamber.
