摘要

Production of pellets, especially made from wood, comprises feeding the material to be pelleted having a predetermined moisture to a pelleting press, and pressing into pellets with the generation of heat. Material with a high amount of moisture is pre-pelleted with the generation of heat and the moisture is subsequently removed. An Independent claim is also included for a device for producing pellets, especially made from wood, comprising pelleting units each having a pelleting press (8) and a conveying path (9) leading from the press. A ventilation and/or drying unit (11) is arranged in the region of the conveying path for ventilating and/or drying the material to be pelleted.
