A socket is provided on the wall of the guide plate 31, and a thermocouple 33 is inserted into the socket. In this solution, by connecting the thermocouple 33 to a power source, the thermocouple 33 is energized to generate heat, and the heat is conducted through the guide plates 31. The multiple guide plates 31 separate the material guide slots of the material guide body 30 to form a serpentine curved channel.

The side groove 21 faces the same row of granulation holes of the granulation plate, so it can cut the materials discharged from the same row of granulation holes, reduce the granulation error caused by the time difference, and improve the quality of granulation.

[0034] The thermocouple 33 is connected to a power source. The thermocouple 33 is powered on to generate heat, and the heat is conducted through the guide plate 31.
