Patent ID: 8080188

Claim:
An apparatus for manufacturing solid particles from a material by atomizing and scattering the material, which includes a solid ingredient dissolved in a volatile solvent, and then drying the solid ingredient by removing the solvent, the apparatus comprising: a chamber for isolation from an external space; a monoaxial rotary disk disposed in the chamber with a receiving surface at one end of the rotary disk; a material supply mechanism for supplying the material to the receiving surface; a rotary mechanism for applying a centrifugal force to the rotary disk so that the raw material supplied to the receiving surface can be produced into a thin film and atomized and scattered from an outer peripheral edge; and a control mechanism for a temperature in the chamber that controls an atmospheric temperature of the material before being atomized and scattered to a temperature lower than a volatilization temperature of the volatile solvent and the atmospheric temperature of the material which is atomized and scattered to the volatilization temperature of the volatile solvent or higher.
