A granulating device, and a granulating method for thermoplastic resin material, in which a screw type kneading and extruding machine for kneading, extruding and melting the thermoplastic resin material, a die holder connected to a front end portion of the screw type kneading and extruding machine, the die holder including a passage through which the melted resin material flows, a change-over valve and at least two outlets, the passage selectively connected to the outlets with the change-over valve, a first and a second dies, for forming the melted resin material into a plurality of pieces of string, connected respectively to the outlets to adapt to different ranges of viscosity of the melted resin material, and a first and a second cutter units including cutters moved respectively along extruding planes of the first and second dies to cut the string-shaped resin material into small pieces, and cooling and solidifying sections for cooling and solidifying the small pieces of thermoplastic resin material.
