Claim:
1. An emulsifying device for continuous production of emulsions and/or dispersions comprising a) at least one mixing apparatus comprising wherein the at least one inlet line is arranged upstream of or below the at least one outlet line, wherein the ratio between the distance between inlet and outlet lines and the diameter of the chamber is ≧2:1, wherein the ratio between the distance between inlet and outlet lines and the length of the stirrer arms of the stirrer elements is 3:1-50:1, and wherein the ratio of the diameter of the stirrer shaft, based on the internal diameter of the chamber, is 0.25 to 0.75 times the internal diameter of the chamber, such that the components introduced into the mixing apparatus via the at least one inlet line are stirred and continuously transported by means of a turbulent mixing area on the inlet side, in which the components are mixed turbulently by the shear forces exerted by the stirrer elements, a downstream percolating mixing area in which the components are mixed further and the turbulent flow decreases, a laminar mixing area on the outlet side, in which a lyotropic, liquid-crystalline phase is established in the mixture of the components, b) at least one drive for the stirrer unit and c) at least one conveying device per component or per component mixture.
