A fluid bed reactor system for olefin polymerization composed of a cylindrical reaction vessel equipped with a distribution plate and an agitator, characterized in that the distribution plate satisfies the following conditions, n (i) each of many passage holes provided in the distribution plate for passage of the fluidizing gas medium is covered with a cap having an opening, n (ii) the opening in said cap is provided only on one side of the cap, and the direction (A) of the opening is not opposite to the direction (B) of the rotational flow, n (iii) the direction (A) of the opening varies with the distance (d) from the center (X) of the plate to the center (Y) of the hole, n (iv) the opening direction (A) of a cap or caps at a hole or holes whose distance (d) is minimum is directed nearer to the center (X) than is the tangential direction of a circle having the center (X) as a center and the distance (d min .) to the hole or holes as a radius, n (v) the opening direction (A) of a cap or caps at a hole or holes whose distance (d) is maximum is directed farther from the center (X) than is the tangential direction of a circle having the center (X) as a center and the distance (d max .) to the hole or holes as a radius, and n (vi) the opening directions (A) of caps at holes other than the hole or holes specified in (iv) and (v) are displaced from the direction specified in (iv) to the direction specified in (v) according to the distance (d) to these holes. |
