solid feedstock (7), wherein the reactor (11) in normal operation has a gas- or vapor-filled headspace (11.1) and a product space (11.2) filled with the mixture phase.2) further comprising a reactor inlet (12) for the feedstock (7), a top outlet (13) for a gas or
vapor phase, an outlet (14) connected to the
sediment treatment stage (200) and at least one motor-driven stirring unit (15) for homogenizing and circulating the reactor contents, which projects into the product space (11.2) with at least one stirring element (16), wherein . the reactor (11) further comprises at least one motor-driven rotary
cutting unit (18) for the
impact and / or
cutting comminution of the starting material (7) and the reactor (11) further comprises at least one heating device (22) or a heating device (22) is directly adjacent to it, characterized in that the reactor inlet (12) is inclined upwards relative to the horizontal (29.2) and the horizontal (29.2) is formed as a theoretical center line running parallel and midway between an upper plane (e1) comprising the height (h1) of the highest point of the upper edge of the reactor inlet (12) and a lower plane (e2) comprising the height (h2) of the lowest point of the lower edge of the reactor inlet (12), wherein the housing of the inlet
screw conveyor is directly connected to and / or projects into the reactor inlet (12) or a
flange of the reactor (11), wherein the
cutting unit (18) is arranged on a theoretical cutting plane (31) which results as a theoretical mean plane of space during the rotational movement of the cutting unit (18), and which is located at a height (h3) that is less than the height (h1) of the upper edge of the reactor inlet (12), and wherein the heating device (22) is at least a
microwave heater (22.1) having a power of 80 to 200 kW or more, and which is separated from the product space (11.2) of the reactor (11) or from a circulating line (58) carrying the mixing phase by at least one disk, window and / or
pipe made of glass or
quartz glass.
