PURPOSE: To prevent the coalescence of capsules by vertically meandering the capsules through a capsule recovery tube having plural lower and upper reversal parts.
CONSTITUTION: Air is introduced from an air intake 72 and accumulated in the right upper part from position 7e on the downstream side of the reversal part 7d. When the seamless capsules e flow out into a capsule recovery vessel 8 along with a liq. coolant, the intermittent and concentrated outflow of the capsules is prevented, and the capsules e flow out smoothly in order. The capsules e recovered in the vessel 8 are separated from the liq. coolant c by the wire mesh 80 and sent to a drying stage. The liq. coolant c is recovered in a tank 5. The cooling time is sufficiently secured in this way.
