granulator

/ɡɹˈænulˌeɪɾɚ/ noun

A machine that forms material into granules.

Word Origin Granulator is built on Latin granulum 'small grain,' from granum 'grain, seed.' So a granulator literally turns things into tiny grain-like bits. The same root gives us grain, granite (grainy rock), and granola. The PIE root *gerh₂- meant 'to grow old, mature'—grains are the mature seeds.
