Abstract: A method and a device for the production of polyamide 6 pellets wherein an intermediate drying is not necessary and a combined pelletizing and extraction take place. Depending on the intended use, the pellets may directly be used or subjected to further treatment steps. A device for the production of polyamide 6 pellets includes a melt device for providing a melt of polyamide 6, an underwater pelletizing system which is operable under increased pressure, and a vertical vessel having a cylindrical section and a tapered bottom section. The tapered bottom section is provided with a cooling device and is connected to a pipe comprising a screw and/or a rotary gate valve for conveying pellets. The device includes a circuit for circulating an aqueous solution of ? caprolactam through the underwater pelletizing system and the vertical vessel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of polyamide 6 with low extract content and a device for it. Here, a melt of non-extracted polyamide 6 is cleaned from monomer and oligomers in a degasification device in vacuum, wherein the vapor being withdrawn from the degasification device by the vacuum generation device is cleaned from monomer, oligomers and optionally water at first in a direct condenser which is operated with liquid ?-caprolactam and subsequently in a pre-separator which is cooled with a coolant, before it reaches the vacuum generation device. A particularly preferable variant of the method envisages the usage of the melt of polyamide 6 with low extract content so prepared in a direct process of spinning into textile fibers and/or filaments.
