Disclosed is an apparatus for continuous plate formation using belts, in which a polymerizable raw material is fed to one end of a space surrounded by opposed surfaces of two endless belts 1 and 1' facing each other and by gaskets 7 disposed at side edges of these belt surfaces so as to be sandwiched between the surfaces, the polymerizable raw material is polymerized in a section where the belts are heated or cooled with warm water, and a plate-form polymer is taken out of the other end of the space, which contains three or more recovery vessels 13 for recovering the warm water used to heat or cool the belts, and temperature sensing elements (thermometers 14) for measuring the temperature of the warm water recovered in every recovery vessel 13. Also disclosed is a method of continuous plate formation using belts, which comprises producing a plate-form polymer from a polymerizable raw material containing methyl methacrylate while measuring temperature of warm water recovered in every recovery vessel 13 with thermometers 14 by using the apparatus for continuous plate formation using belts.
