An apparatus for granulating hot cut, in particular thermoplastic resin material, the material strands melted by an extruder being knocked off into granule pellets in a granulating housing by rotating knives disposed on a shaft driven by way of a motor, the granule pellets being picked up by a cooling medium flowing in the granulating housing, cooled and discharged out of the granulating housing, characterized in that a flow opening establishing a continuous fluid connection between the inside of the granulating housing and the outside environment is designed between the shaft and the region of the granulating housing in which the shaft penetrates the granulating housing.

1. An apparatus for hot cut granulation of material, configured for strands of the material which has been melted in an extruder to be introduced thereto, comprising: a granulating housing configured for the strands to be introduced into the granulating housing;a rotatable shaft;rotatable knives disposed in the granulating housing and disposed on the shaft, wherein the rotatable knives are configured to cut the strands into granulate particles;a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet, configured for coolant to flow through the granulating housing in such a way that the granulate particles are picked up and cooled by the coolant, and the granulate particles are discharged from the granulating housing through the coolant outlet along with the coolant; anda flow-through opening, wherein the shaft penetrates the granulating housing through the flow-through opening, wherein the flow-through opening abuts immediately against the shaft, and wherein the flow-through opening establishes a fluid connection between an interior of the granulating housing and an ambient atmosphere of the apparatus, wherein, during operation, a pressure interior of the granulating housing is at a vacuum in comparison with the ambient atmosphere of the apparatus, wherein the vacuum acts to draw in air from the ambient atmosphere to thereby create an air current such that the air current enters the granulating housing through the flow-through opening at a rate to prevent any of the coolant from exiting the granulating housing through the flow-through opening, such that the air current creates a seal against the escape the coolant from the flow-through opening. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a motor configured to rotate the shaft. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1, the apparatus being configured such that the vacuum is at least partly created by a flow of the coolant. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the shaft is axially adjustable or displaceable in a direction of a longitudinal axis thereof. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the flow-through opening completely and on all sides surrounds the shaft. 6. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the shaft or the motor is supported outside of the granulating housing. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a flange element in the interior of the granulating housing, wherein the flange element encompasses the shaft, wherein the flow-through opening is disposed in the flange element and surrounds the shaft. 8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the flow-through opening provides permanent fluid connection between the interior of the granulating housing and the ambient atmosphere of the apparatus. 9. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a back-flow thread disposed in the flow-through opening, wherein the back-flow thread conveys toward the interior and encompasses the shaft. 10. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein a velocity of the coolant is adjustable, to thereby create the vacuum at a predetermined negative pressure. 11. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the granulating housing is substantially hermetically sealed aside from the flow-through opening and supply and discharge lines for the coolant and the material. 12. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the shaft is supported outside of the granulating housing. 13. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a vacuum pump configured to create the vacuum.
