A pellet mill with first and second side-by-side rollers disposed in respective first and second hemispheres of rotation of a vertical rotatable cylindrical pellet die member divided along a vertical center line. Pelletizable material is fed in independent first and second conduits for each roller. The first conduit deposits the pelletizable material in the first hemisphere above the first roller; while the second conduit supplies the pelletizable material also in the first hemisphere of rotation below the first roller. Thus, such material is initially deposited on the die member from the conduit and is carried during rotation by centrifugal force to the second roller. Gravity assists retention of the material during rotation to the bottom of the die.
