The invention relates to a device for granulation of an ejected material form at least one nozzle (7), in particular a thermoplastic plastic, with a perforated plate (2) comprising the nozzles (7). A blade head (10), supporting several blades (11) lies opposite the same, fixed to a shaft (9) which is rotatably driven by a motor (13). The motor (13) is suspended such as to be displaced relative to the housing (1) by means of a suspension (15), however the above is suspended in such a manner that displacement is only possible in the direction of the axis (8) of the shaft (9) and not in a radial direction. Said suspension (15) comprises at least one membrane (14) which suspends the motor (13) on the granulator housing (1). The motor (13) can be adjusted relative to the perforated plate (2) by means of an adjuster device (27), such that the desired pressure of the blade on the perforated plate (2) is maintained. The excised granulate particles are drawn out of the housing (1) by means of coolant.
Apparatus for granulating of material pressed out from at least one nozzle (7), in particular of thermoplastic synthetic material, comprising a perforated plate having the nozzle(s) (7), to which a knife head (7) carrying at least one knife (11) is oppositely disposed which is connected to a shaft (9) driven for rotation by a motor (13) and being adjustable in axial direction, so that each knife (11) runs in contact to the nozzle mouth and thereby cuts off the granulate particles which are carried off the granulating housing (1) surrounding the perforated plate (2) by a cooling medium introduced into the granulating housing (1), wherein the motor (13) is suspended by means of a suspension (15) moveably relative to the granulating housing (1), which movability, however, is only given in axial direction of the shaft (9), and wherein an adjustment means (27) for axial displacement of the motor (13) with respect to the perforated plate (2) is provided, characterized in that at least one membrane (14) is used for suspending the motor (13) on the granulating housing (1).
