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 7):
The process of  claim 1  wherein the first and second belt plate are pivotal coupled to each other at the hinge line by means of overlapping first and second extensions or elongations of the first and/or second belt plate.
