Abstract: The process for preparing a polyamide based on dicarboxylic acids and diamines has the following stages: 1) providing an aqueous monomer mixture of dicarboxylic acids and diamines, the molar ratio of dicarboxylic acids to diamines being adjusted such that a molar deficiency of dicarboxylic acids or diamines of from 1 to 10 mol % is present at the outlet of stage 3), based on the other component in each case, 2) transferring the aqueous mixture from stage 1) to a continuous evaporator reactor in which diamines and dicarboxylic acids are reacted at a temperature in the range from 100 to 370° C. and a pressure in the range from 1 to 50 bar, 3) transferring the mixture from stage 2) to a separator which is operated at a temperature in the range from 100 to 370° C.
