Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un polycondensat semi-cristallin, en particulier d'un polyester ou d'un polyamide. Ledit procédé consiste d'abord à produire une masse fondue de prépolymère de polycondensat, qui est transformée en granulés d'un diamètre moyen inférieur à 2 mm au moyen d'un dispositif de "granulation par point chaud" (hot face granulation) puis durcie, les granulés étant découpés à la sortie du corps de filière. Ensuite, le degré de cristallisation et le poids moléculaire des granulés de prépolymère sont élevés au cours d'un processus de polycondensation en phase solide. Pour la granulation, la masse fondue de prépolymère de polycondensat est pressée à travers un corps de filière pourvu d'une pluralité d'orifices agencés, de préférence, sur au moins une trajectoire annulaire. La découpe des granulés est effectuée au moyen d'une lame rotative et d'un jet de liquide.
