PCT No. PCT/EP96/05514 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 10, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO90/21758 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 19, 1997A process and device for the standardised continuous production of polyamide 6, polyamide 6.6 and/or copolyamides from e-caprolactam and/or adipic acidic hexamethylenediamine or adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine uses a combination of known specific processes to design a polymerisation reactor in which product with sufficiently high quality can be produced with the most efficient possible use of the energy applied and in such a way that the initial substances can be used alternately in the individual processing stages: pre-heating of the initial products using a common heat exchanger to 190-300 DEG C.; polymerisation of the initial products in a pressure stage with or without elimination of water and product recycling at 150-280 DEG C. and a pressure of <20 bar, dewatering of the polymer melt in a one to five turn coil under slow pressure reduction; and final condensation of the melt in at least one common vertical reactor at temperatures of between 210 and 285 DEG C.
