An apparatus for the production of granules from flowable media comprises a cylindrical vessel rotatable about a horizontal axle and being provided with circumferentially spaced orifices through which the medium emerges in the form of droplets. The drops fall onto a cooling conveyor in order to solidify thereon. A collector wall is situated within the vessel and oriented obliquely relative to the horizontal. The medium is dropped onto the collector plate and flows downwardly onto the internal surface of the vessel. The medium falls onto the internal surface ahead of a baffle which presses against the internal surface.

Apparatus for the production of granules from a flowable medium comprising: a cylindrical vessel rotatable about a horizontal axis, said vessel including a plurality of orifices distributed circumferentially around said vessel through which the medium can flow from inside the vessel, a collector wall disposed stationarily within said vessel and extending obiquely relative to a horizontal plane containing said axis, so as to include upper and lower ends, said lower end being spaced above an internal surface of said vessel, means for introducing a flowable medium into said vessel such that the introduced flowable medium falls downwardly onto said collector wall and flows downwardly thereupon and over said lower end and onto said internal surface of said vessel, a baffle surface disposed in said vessel extending downwardly and pressing against a bottom region of said internal surface of said vessel and positioned so that the flowable medium flowing over said lower end and onto said internal surface is situated ahead of said baffle surface with reference to the rotation of said vessel so that said baffle surface exerts pressure against the medium to promote the flow of medium through said orifices, said vessel being rotatable relative to said collector wall and baffle, and cooling means disposed beneath said vessel and movable relative thereto and arranged to receive the medium falling from said orifices, said upper end of said collector wall extending to a location closely adjacent said internal surface of said vessel, and said collector wall arranged to overlie a space in said vessel located behind said baffle surface such that residual medium gravitating from said orifices above said space can fall onto said collector wall and travel downwardly therealong to said lower end, said apparatus further comprising a stationary heating means disposed within said vessel for heating said collector wall.
