<p>In a method for cleaning an absorptive polyester, the polymer is dissolved in a first solvent (12) and subsequently the polymer solution is brought into tight contact with a second solvent (41) in a turbulent shear field under the influence of strong shear forces. Here, the second solvent (41) represents a non-solvent for the absorptive polyester and is mixable with the first solvent (12) to an unlimited extent. Subsequently, the polymer suspension resulting from the addition of the second solvent (41) is conveyed onto or into a rotating, cylindrical screen body (71) of a drum shear screen (70) and then the moist polymer mass is removed from the screen body (71) and subsequently dried. The method is suitable for the production of absorptive polyester with a high degree of quality and may be performed in a cost-effective fashion on an industrial scale as well.</p> |
