pelletizes
Makes small balls
Pelletizes means forms into pellets—small, compressed, rounded masses.
Industrial processes pelletize materials like iron ore, animal feed, or plastic for easier handling and transport: The plant pelletizes recycled plastic for resale.
Wood pelletizes into fuel for stoves.
The word is technical, appearing mainly in manufacturing and materials processing contexts.
