The invention relates to a device (1) for wetting particles (3), in particular wood particles, comprising application means, at least one line (19) transporting a fluid as a fluid stream and comprising an end section (21) which forms an outlet (23). The fluid can be introduced in the direction of the main flow into a container (5) containing the particles (3), via the outlet (23). The particles (3) are in the container (5) in a loosened state and/or can be loosened. The application means for spraying by means of a nozzle device (25) with a speed component directed against the main flow direction can be introduced into the fluid stream and can be guided to the particles (3) by means of the fluid stream.
