Abstract:
1. For use with a devolatilization system for removing volatiles from a mass processable polymer, a multi-chambered devolatilizer, comprising: a devolatilizer chamber including a first collector and a second collector contained therein, said devolatilizer chamber having a first distribution nozzle located over said first collector, said first collector being fluidly coupled to a second distribution nozzle located over said second collector within said devolatilizer chamber and wherein said first distribution nozzle is connected at an end thereof to said second distribution nozzle to allow said mass processable polymer to flow from said first distribution nozzle to said second distribution nozzle, said first and second distribution nozzles each having a number of distribution openings formed therein for distributing a flow of a mass processable polymer therethrough and wherein said first and second collectors are separated by an interior wall and said wall comprises a baffle.
