A method of producing enzyme granulates, enzyme granulates producedby the method, and the use thereof in formulations is provided, for example,for animal feed, foodstuffs, washing agents, rinsing agents or forpharmaceutical uses. The enzyme granulates have a high relative proportionof active enzyme, particular particle size, good shelf life, particularlysmallrounding factors and/or low residual moisture proportion, and further specificproperties. The production of the enzyme granulates is achieved by linking ofthe thermal conditions in the injection zone and temperature conditions in theremainder of the apparatus. This is achieved by introduction of heated processgasses for drying exclusively in the injection zone. The secure introductionofarticles into the injection zone is achieved by the specific geometricarrangement of the apparatus using gravity. The absolute value for enzymeactivity of the enzyme granulates can be controlled by the addition ofparticlesas seed material for the granules.
