Abstract

A device and method for producing pellets from a melt material, the device having a perforated plate with nozzles. Located opposite the perforated plate is a cutter arrangement having a cutter head with at least one blade, wherein the device additionally has a cutting chamber in a housing. A coolant is introduced into the cutting chamber from an inlet apparatus, wherein one or more additional feed opening(s) is/are provided for an additional flow of coolant to the cutting chamber. The additional coolant flows at least in the area of rotation of the at least one blade, circumferentially at least in sections, with an orientation such that this additional flow of coolant differs from the flow of coolant entering through the inlet nozzle arrangement in at least one of the following parameters: physical state, direction, speed, pressure, temperature, density, throughput rate, and/or composition.
