    Abstract: A process is disclosed for continously preparing polyamides from a mixture o f at least one lactam and water, as well as if required other monomer units and/or usual additives and fillers in polyamide-forming conditions. The mixture of initial substances is heated in the liquid phase in a first reaction zone until a conversion rate of at least 70 % is reached, then is adiabatically expanded and further polymerised in another fraction zone. In the first reaction zone, 0.5 to 7% by weight water art added to the mixture, the mixture is heated up to a temperature range from 220 to 310 .degree.C and polymerised until a conversi on rate of at least 85 % isreached. In the second reaction zone, after the mixture is expanded, it is further polymerised at temperatures in a range from 215 to 300 .degree.C without further heating.
