The present invention relates to a method for granulating a stream of molten metal which is caused to fall from a launder or the like or down into a liquid cooling bath contained in a tank. The metal stream is divided into droplets in the liquid cooling bath, which droplets solidifies and forms solid granules, while a cooling liquid flow having a substantially uniform flow is caused to flow from one of the sidewalls in the tank and substantially perpendicular against the falling metal stream, said flow of cooling liquid having a velocity of less than 0,1 m/second. The distance from the outlet of the launder and to the surface of the liquid cooling bath is kept less than 100 times the diameter of the metal stream measured as the metal stream leaves the launder.

La présente invention a trait à une méthode pour granuler un écoulement de métal fondu qu'on fait tomber d'une auge ou d'un caniveau dans un bain de refroidissement à l'intérieur d'un réservoir. L'écoulement de métal se divise en gouttelettes dans le bain de refroidissement, lesquelles gouttelettes forment des granules en se solidifiant, tandis qu'un liquide de refroidissement ayant un débit substantiellement uniforme est amené à s'écouler de l'une des parois latérales du réservoir de façon substantiellement perpendiculaireà l'écoulement du métal qui tombe, ledit liquide de refroidissement s'écoulant à une vitesse inférieure à 0,1 m/s. La distance entre la sortie du caniveau et la surface du bain de refroidissement est maintenue à moins de 100 fois le diamètre de l'écoulement de métal mesuré là où le métal liquide quitte le caniveau.
