description A process for continuous dewatering/drying of EP(D)M rubber is disclosed. The process comprises continuously charging wet EP(D)M crumb into a single screw extruder having particular structural features and conveying the wet crumb through the length of the extruder under conditions sufficient to expel water, increase the pressure across the die plate of the extruder and heat the crumb. The dried crumb thus extruded is characterized in that it contains less than 1% water. The single screw extruder suitable for the process comprises an inlet or feeding end, an expeller section which contains cage bars, an expander section having a solid shell cover positioned immediately downstream from the expeller section, a die plate and a screw having a constant pitch and a, preferably gradually, decreasing channel depth.
