Title:
ATOMIZATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/023609
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a rotor/stator mixer equipped with a stator, which has a plurality of openings, and a rotor, which is provided within the stator with a prescribed gap therebetween. The mixer exhibits superior performance as a result of increasing the shear stress applied to a fluid being processed, is capable of changing and adjusting the shear stress applied to the fluid being processed, and is capable of changing and adjusting the manner in which the fluid being processed flows. The stator comprises a plurality of stators having different circumferences, the rotor is provided within each of the stators with a prescribed gap therebetween, and the stators and the rotor are configured so as to be capable of moving towards and away from one another along the direction of the rotational axis of the rotor.
