PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent rough particles from being mixed in fine particles to be manufactured.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing fine particles includes: a step of forming liquid droplets by spraying raw material liquid into a gas phase inside a spraying tank 20, and cooling and solidifying the liquid droplets to obtain final particles; and a step of discharging the obtained fine particles from the spraying tank 20 after agitation with an agitator 10 established in the spraying tank 20, or while being agitated. The agitator 10 has no part hanging from above.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective separation method when a solid particle having hydrogel particles or water is separated from an oil phase by filtration, sedimentation or the like, and thus a method for efficiently producing an refined oil. SOLUTION: The method for producing the refined oil in which the solid particle having the hydrogel particles or water is separated from the oil phase dewaters the solid particle having the hydrogel particles or water, and then separates.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide hydrogel particles having uniform particle diameters and a beautiful appearance and being smoothly and uniformly disintegrated with, e.g. fingers and, more particularly, to provide highly monodisperse hydrogel particles which can show the ability to be uniformly disintegrated from the initial stage of use to the final stage of use and can be uniformly applied. SOLUTION: The hydrogel particles are ones in which the content of coarse particles having particle diameters at least 1.3 times larger than the mean particle diameter of the hydrogen particles is at most 5 wt.%, and the content of small particles having particle diameters at most 0.7 time larger than the mean particle diameter of the hydrogel particles is at most 5 wt.%.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable to easily adjust density and to improve the touch of a capsule particle at the time of breaking by incorporating a gas in an inner layer to lessen the lowering of the strength of the capsule particle with respect to the seamless capsule particle composed of the inner layer and a coating film formed by coating the inner layer. SOLUTION: Relating to the seamless capsule particle, which is a capsule particle used for drugs, foods and the like and constituted of the inner layer and the coating film formed by coating the inner layer, the gas is incorporated in the inner layer so as to occupy 1-100 vol.% of the inner layer. The inner layer is formed from one containing one or more kinds of structural components selected from a water soluble component, an oily component and a surfactant component and as the gas, one or more kinds selected from nitrogen, argon and helium is used. And the ratio of the coating film volume to the volume of the capsule particle is controlled to 15-80 vol.%. Further, the capsule particle is formed to be 0.5-500 gf/piece in the strength of the capsule particle and 0.100-1,300 g/cm in the density of the capsule particle.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of hydrogel particles which does not necessarily need a cooling facility for cooling droplets. SOLUTION: The production method of hydrogel particles involves spraying a dispersion obtained by dispersing an oil component in an aqueous water component solution obtained by dissolving a gelling agent of a non-crosslinking type hydrogel having a gelation point of 30°C or higher to gas phase and cooling and solidifying droplets formed thereby.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a delivery nozzle of a curing formation device for a formation component liquid capable of removing bubbles 51 generated in a formation tank 5 and stayed on a bottom surface 22 of a delivery nozzle 20. SOLUTION: The delivery nozzle 20 is provided with a plurality of orifices 21 having delivery ports 24 opened to a nozzle bottom part and annularly arranged; a bubble collection recessed part 23 formed on a nozzle bottom part lower surface at an inner side part of the annular delivery port row; and a bubble discharge passage 28 communicated with the bubble collection recessed part and discharging the bubbles to the outside. The bubbles contacted with a lower surface of the delivery nozzle 20 is collected in the recessed part 23, enters to the bubble discharge passage 28 from the bubble discharge port 25 and is discharged to the outside the recessed part 23. Thereby, the bubbles are removed from a lower surface of the bottom part 22 of the delivery nozzle. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for manufacturing easily breakable particles, in which the easily breakable particles manufactured at a manufacturing step can be handled easily and continuously treated efficiently at the succeeding step. SOLUTION: This system is provided with a particle forming vessel 5, a separator 6 for separating the particles from a hardening liquid, a classifier 7 for classifying the particles having a prescribed size and a cleaner 8 for cleaning the classified particles with a cleaning liquid. A rotary cylinder 17 is provided commonly in the separator 6, the classifier 7 and the cleaner 8. The cylinder 17 is arranged to be rotated around a shaft disposed almost horizontally, has a feed blade 22 extending spirally and an opening 32 arranged on the peripheral wall and is constituted so that the particles can be moved from one end of the cylinder 17 to the other end by rotation. The size of the opening 32 is decided so that the hardening liquid and the particles smaller than the required particles can pass through the opening 32 when the cylinder 17 is used in the separator 6, the required particles can pass through the opening 32 when the cylinder 17 is used in the classifier 7 and the cleaning liquid and the particles smaller than the required particles can pass through the opening 32 when the cylinder 17 is used in the cleaner 8.
