According to a known method for pelleting a liquid or paste-like mass, a cooling flow of a liquid coolant is produced, guided by a guiding body, the mass is introduced into said cooling flow, first at least partially frozen so that pellets are formed and then removed from the guiding body and frozen completely. The aim of the invention is to produce a simple and economical method for the reproducible production of pellets, based on this. The inventive method should also reduce the risk of deformation. To this end, the invention provides that the pellets (10) are introduced into a coolant bath (3) with a liquid coolant and then completely frozen. A simple and compact device for carrying out this method is provided with a flow generating device for producing a cooling flow of the liquid coolant, a guiding body for guiding and transferring the coolant flow, said guiding body having a transfer point, and a feed device for introducing the mass into the cooling flow. A coolant bath (3) is provided in a container (1) and the transfer point (16) of the guiding body (6) is located in or above the coolant bath (3). |
