The paper presents the results of tests of the influence of equipment and process parameters of the plate pellet mill with the a raking blade on the compressive strength and the kinetic durability of pellets. The variable input parameters are: inclination angle of the pelleting plate; inclination angle of the blade in the plate pellet mill; rotational angle of the pelleting plate; mass of water added to the plate during the process and time of the material staying in the pellet mill. In the course of the tests, it was concluded that there is a relationship between the strength of the obtained pellets and the inclination angle of the blade in the pellet mill. Pellets obtained at an inclination angle of the pelleting blade of 60° are characterized by a higher value of the compressive strength and the kinetic durability of pellets than at inclination angles of 90° and 120°.
