A liquid droplet-forming device is provided, including: a liquid chamber; a discharge hole configured to discharge a raw material liquid in the liquid chamber in a form of liquid droplets; sealed space-forming means; and at least two flow paths, in which the sealed space-forming means is capable of forming a sealed space communicating with the liquid chamber through the discharge hole on a side opposite to the liquid chamber of the discharge hole, and the at least two flow paths communicate with each other through the sealed space.

This coating device 1 comprises a dispersing/mixing part 2, a conveying part 3, and a collecting part 4. A raw material powder and a coating solution are supplied to the dispersing/mixing part 4 as a slurry. In the dispersing/mixing part 2, the slurry (mixture) in which the raw powder and the coating solution have been mixed is dispersed by means of an air flow of a high-pressure fluid into a powder, a film of the coating solution having adhered to the surface of the powder. The powder is introduced from the dispersing/mixing part 2 to the conveying part 3t and is conveyed with the conveying part 3 oriented toward the collecting part 4. While the powder is being conveyed, the coating solution that has adhered to the particle surfaces dries, whereby a powder in which the particle surfaces ares coated with a precursor is produced. A powder flow introduced into the collecting part 4 passes through a bag filter 54. This causes the powder to be captured by the bag filter 54.

Disclosed are systems and methods for producing particles of organic substances, in particular nanoparticles and microparticles of active pharmaceutical ingredients, wherein the particles are collected in the aid of an extension member engaged to a collection chamber and positioning a nozzle.

Fabrication of functional polymer-based particles by crosslinking UV-curable polymer drops in mid-air and collecting crosslinked particles in a solid container, a liquid suspension, or an air flow. The particles can contain different phases in the form or layered structures that contain one to multiple cores, or structures that are blended with dissolved or emulsified smaller domains. A curing system produces ultraviolet rays that are directed onto the particles in the jet stream from one side. A reflector positioned on other side of the jet stream reflects the ultraviolet rays back onto the particles in the jet stream.

Embodiments provide a particle production apparatus enabling the production of particles having an intended particle size and a narrow particle size distribution. A particle production apparatus includes a rotary disk and a material supply portion. In the material supply portion, a gas supply port is configured to supply a gas formed outside a material supply port. The gas supplied from the gas supply port directs the material supplied from the material supply port in such a way that the material comes into contact with the surface of the cylindrical portion.

A method of production of a homogeneous powdered product from a starting product in a liquid state, the starting product having sugars as at least 60% of its total solids, the method comprising: in the absence of air; pressurizing the starting product to a pressure greater than 1 bar; injecting a gas into the starting product to form a mixture in which the starting product is substantially saturated by the gas; and degassing the mixture into a continuous stream of transport gas such that, on contact with the transport gas, water from the mixture evaporates to leave the homogeneous powdered product.
