A pellet mill is provided comprising a cylindrical die member (1) with die passages (2) therethrough and having an axis of symmetry, a plurality of die-rollers (18,19) located within said die member (1), each mounted on a shaft (14,15) for rotation about a respective axis of rotation, said shafts extending in parallel with and spaced from said axis of symmetry, and further comprising drive means for generating a rotational movement of said shafts about said axis of symmetry and relative to said die member. Each die-roller (18,19) is fixedly attached to its respective shaft (14,15) and that each shaft is rotatably mounted for rotation about the respective axis of rotation by means of additional drive means. Further it is proposed that the die member (1) at its opposite ends is limited by stationary end walls (9,11) having openings through which said shafts extend, wherein said shafts are journalled in bearings positioned outside of the die member.
