Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing water-absorbing polymer particles, comprising the steps of: •—processing an aqueous polymer gel from polymerization of a monomer solution or suspension, •—drying the aqueous polymer gel in a conveyer dryer, in particular in a forced air conveyer dryer, wherein •—the conveyer dryer has a circulating conveyer belt and the aqueous polymer gel is conveyed on the circulating conveyer belt, and wherein •—the circulating conveyer belt is formed as a circulating plate conveyer belt, comprising a number of belt plates separated by a hinge line of a hinge assembly and each belt plate having a surface for receiving the aqueous polymer gel, wherein said hinge assembly comprises a knuckle joint ( 301 ) with the hinge line in form of a straight hinge line.

Claim (Index 19):
The process of  claim 1  wherein the aqueous polymer gel is processed from the polymerization of a monomer solution or suspension, the monomer solution or suspension comprising:\n at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer optionally bearing an acid group and optionally being at least partly neutralized; \n at least one crosslinker; \n at least one initiator; \n optionally one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the monomer mentioned under (a) and \n optionally one or more water soluble polymer.
