The present invention relates to an apparatus for degassing polymer powder comprising a chamber having a first end and a second end opposite to each other, said chamber being equipped with at least one powder inlet and at least one gas outlet at the first end and with at least one powder outlet and at least one gas inlet at the second end, and a valve provided with a powder entry and a powder exit and arranged at the powder outlet of said chamber. The apparatus is characterised in that said chamber is equipped with a gas line joining a gas exit of the valve to the inside of the chamber at a position that is at a distance h2 from the first end (20), said distance h2 being 20-70% of the height H of the chamber and at a distance l1 from a wall of said chamber, said distance being l1 5-50 % of the largest diameter L of the chamber. The invention also relates to a method for degassing polymer comprising flushing the polymer powder in a chamber with a flow of flushing gas, wherein at least a part of flushing gas exiting the chamber through a powder outlet is re-introduced into said chamber. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
