An emulsification apparatus (10) is used in a production apparatus (12) of microcapsules. The emulsification apparatus (10) is constituted with an outer cylinder (24) and an inner cylinder (26) coaxially arranged in a superposed manner, the outer cylinder (24) is fixed, and the inner cylinder (26) is rotated at a circumferential speed ω. A liquid being processed is fed into the gap (25) between the outer cylinder (24) and the inner cylinder (26), thus a shear force is exerted to the liquid being processed, and the liquid being processed is thereby emulsified. The relation between the magnitude d (mm) of the gap (25), the viscosity η (mPa·sec) of the liquid being processed and the circumferential speed ω (m/sec) of the inner cylinder is such that the circumferential speed ω is controlled so that any one of the following relations may be satisfied:
(1) When η ≤ 20, d ≤ 5/ω;
(2) When 20 < η ≤ 50, d ≤ 10/ω;
(3) When 50 < η ≤ 100, d ≤ 20/ω;
(4) When 100 < η.
一种乳化装置(10)用于微胶囊生产装置(12)。乳化装置(10)由同轴叠置的外筒(24)和内筒(26)构成,外筒(24)固定,内筒(26)以圆周速度ω旋转。被处理的液体被送入外圆筒 (24) 和内圆筒 (26) 之间的间隙 (25),从而对被处理的液体施加剪切力,被处理的液体因此被乳化。间隙 (25) 的大小 d (毫米)、被处理液体的粘度 η (毫帕-秒) 和内圆筒的圆周速度 ω (米/秒) 之间的关系是这样的:圆周速度 ω 受控,以便满足下列关系中的任何一种:
(1) 当 η ≤ 20 时,d ≤ 5/ω;
(2) 当 20 < η ≤ 50 时,d ≤ 10/ω;
(3) 当 50 < η ≤ 100 时,d ≤ 20/ω;
(4) 当 100 < η 时。
