The present invention relates to a process for devolatilising polymer-containing media such as, in particular, polymer melts, polymer solutions and dispersions and also devolatilisation apparatuses for carrying out the abovementioned process. 1. A process for removing volatile compounds from a polymer-containing medium which contains at least one polymer and at least one volatile compound , the process comprising: [{'sub': n', 'n, 'a barrel and n barrel holes Bhaving associated hole diameters Dwhere n is an integer,'}, {'sub': n', 'n', 'n, 'claim-text': [{'sup': 'm', 'sub': max n', 'n', 'n, 'm relative maxima Rin respect of a radial dimension of the cross-sectional profile to the axis of rotation Aof the screw W, where m is an integer from 1 to 8,'}, {'sub': max n', 'n', 'n', 'max n', 'max n', 'n, 'a maximum value Rin respect of the radial dimension of the cross-sectional profile to the axis of rotation Aof the screw W, where Rfulfils: R<=(D/2)'}], 'one or more screws Warranged concentrically in each of the barrel holes Band configured to be rotatable within the barrel holes, wherein each screw has an axis of rotation Aand is equipped with treatment elements, the treatment elements having a cross-sectional profile orthogonal to the axis of rotation, wherein the cross-sectional profile in a circumferential direction has, 'at least one feed zone,', 'one or more devolatilisation zones comprising in each case at least one devolatilisation opening which is suitable for discharge of volatile constituents from a polymer-containing medium from the extruder, and', 'at least one discharge zone,, 'a) introducing the polymer-containing medium into a devolatilisation apparatus comprising [{'sup': 'm', 'sub': 'max n', 'claim-text': {'sub': n', 'max n', 'n, 'sup': 'm', '0.420 D
