Abstract: The present material transport device for a granulating apparatus includes a plurality of transport pressure rollers arranged in a curved row for cooperation with a transport cylinder of the granulating apparatus. An infeed table extends substantially tangentially relative to the transport cylinder which forms with the first pressure rollr of said row an infeed point. A run-off table extends also substantially tangentially relative to said transport cylinder and forms with its downstream end a counter ledge for a rotary knife. The row of pressure rollers extends around the transport cylinder from said infeed point substantially to said counter ledge.
