Abstract:
1. A particulate material production apparatus for producing a particulate material, comprising: at least one droplet ejector including: a vibrator to vibrate the particulate material composition liquid in the liquid column resonance chamber to form a standing wave in the particulate material composition liquid, so that droplets of the particulate material composition liquid are ejected in a droplet ejection direction from the at least one nozzle so as to fly in a space in a flight direction, wherein the at least one nozzle is located at a location corresponding to an antinode of the standing wave; a gas feeder to feed a gas in a direction substantially perpendicular to the droplet ejection direction to change the flight direction of the ejected droplets; and a solidifying device to solidify the ejected droplets in the space to form the particulate material.
