Abstract:
1. A method of processing a polycondensate to yield granules formed as pellets, comprising: melting the polycondensate in the process using a twin-screw extruder or a multi-screw extruder, wherein the total time during which the polycondensate is formed as a melt during the process has a first time section during which the polycondensate still dwells in the extruder after melting, and a second time section during which the polycondensate, still molten, is processed outside the extruder, the duration of the first time section amounting to less than approximately 10 seconds; and solidifying the melted polycondensate wherein a total time during which a temperature of the polycondensate is above a melting point of the polycondensate in the process amounts to less than approximately 60 seconds.
