Abstract
An apparatus for dewatering a slurry of elastomeric polymer and water, using an extruder or extruders provided with a device for measuring an actual water content of the elastomer at a position within the extruder or extruders, and a control system for controlling the moisture content of elastomeric polymer exiting the extruder or extruders through an exit die based, at least in part, on the measured water content.
