Device and method for wetting particles

A device for wetting particles, in particular wood particles, with an application agent, said device comprising:

• at least one conduit transporting a fluid as a fluid stream and having an end section which forms an outlet, wherein, via the outlet, the fluid can be introduced in a main flow direction into a container containing the particles, wherein the particles in the container are in a loosened state and/or in a state adapted to be loosened, wherein the application agent, for being sprayed, can be introduced into the fluid stream by a nozzle device with a speed component directed against the main flow direction and can be applied to the particles by the fluid stream.

A method for wetting particles, in particular wood particles, with an application agent, comprising:

• a fluid is fed in the form of a fluid stream in a main flow direction into a container containing the particles, wherein the particles in the container are in a loosened state and/or will be loosened, wherein the application agent, for being sprayed is introduced into the fluid stream with a speed component directed against the main flow direction and the atomized application agent is supplied to the particles by means of the fluid stream.
