A process for producing superabsorbents by polymerizing a monomer solution or suspension comprising a) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer which bears acid groups and is at least partly neutralized, b) at least one crosslinker, c) at least one initiator, d) optionally an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the monomers mentioned under a) and e) optionally one or more water-soluble polymers, comprising the steps of i) polymerizing the monomer solution or suspension, ii) optionally comminuting the polymer gel obtained in step i), iii) drying the polymer gel obtained in step i) or step ii) in an air circulation belt drier with multiple heating zones and at least one cooling zone, iv) crushing the dried polymer gel obtained in step iii), v) optionally coarsely comminuting the polymer particles obtained in step iv), vi) pneumatically conveying the polymer particles obtained in step iv) or step v), vii) optionally removing incompletely dried polymer particles from the polymer particles obtained in step vi), and further processing the remaining dried polymer particles in step viii), step ix) or step x), viii) optionally classifying the polymer particles obtained in step vi) or step vii), and sending the coarse fraction to step ix) or step x), ix) optionally intermediately storing the polymer particles obtained in step vi), step vii) or step viii), x) comminuting the polymer particles of the polymer particles obtained in step vi), step vii), step viii) or step ix), xi) optionally pneumatically conveying the polymer particles obtained in step x),
