Abstract: 
The paper deals with the specific field of the design of pelleting tools with a focus on pelleting dies. It focuses in great detail on the different geometries of the press channels and their significance. It also approaches the field of material engineering in the design of these tools. The published information is based on many years of experience, knowledge, and professional data about pelleting tools acquired by the authors during many years of design practice in the field of research and development of pelleting machines and tools. The information provided is intended to explain this specific field and to assist designers in the design of pressing tools.
