The invention relates to a pellet machine with a die table having at least one die plate, and a feed device for feeding a material to be pressed into the die plates, and a feed shoe for a pelleting machine and a sealing device for a feed shoe.

Granulator of the afore described type are known. For example, in rotary pelleting machines, a rotor supporting the die table is rotated by a drive. The die plates are filled with the material to be pressed through at least one so-called feed shoe, and bottom dies and top dies guided by slideways are moved to the die plates depending on the angular position of the rotor.

The pelletizer itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
