ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for producing capsules of the type which are formed by immersing liquid droplets in a gelling agent. The apparatus comprises a rotor disposed about a central axis of rotation which houses a reservoir for holding the liquid to be formed into capsules, and conduits which lead to ports spaced uniformly on the circumference of a circle. When the rotor is actuated, spheroidal droplets of the capsule-forming material take shape at the ports and are propelled radially outwardly into a gelling agent contained in a reservoir which comprises an annular surface spaced radially apart from the ports.
