There is provided a continuous polymerization apparatus capable of separating a polymer and a solid material from a reaction mixture in a simple and efficient manner while having an apparatus configuration that is easy to clean and maintain, and a continuous production method of a polymer. The continuous polymerization apparatus 100 has a plurality of reaction tanks 1a to 1c, the plurality of reaction tanks are configured so that the reaction mixtures 9a to 9c move sequentially through each reaction tank, and the plurality of reaction tanks The gaseous phase portions formed above the mixture are in communication with each other, and a washing unit 5 is provided for separating solids contained in the reaction mixture by sedimentation and performing countercurrent washing. |
