Abstract: The pitch is extruded at a suitable temperature through cylindrical nozzles. At the exit from these nozzles the pitch is lowered into water, where a cutter divides it into granules which, deposited on a conveyer belt, remain immersed long enough to permit suitable cooling. Then they undergo drying by hot jets of air.
