A method for stirring resin pellets, the method comprising stirring resin pellets having adhesive properties in a liquid under conditions satisfying relational expression (I) in a stirring tank provided with a stirring impeller. (In the expression, ρ is the density (kg/m 3 ) of the liquid, Np is the power number of the stirring impeller, n is the rotational speed (1/s), D is the diameter (m) of the stirring impeller, ∆ρ is the difference in density (kg/m 3 ) of the resin pellets and the liquid, g is the gravitational acceleration (m/s 2 ), and dp is the particle diameter (m) of the resin pellets.) |
