    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to develop a mechanism capable of more effectively performing processing such as emulsification, dispersion, dissolution, atomization, mixing, or stirring on a processing object with fluidity using an atomization device including a rotor-stator type mixer while an inside of a processing tank is maintained in a pressured state, at atmospheric pressure, or in a vacuum state, and occurrence of a negative pressure state on a center side (inner diameter side) of a rotor is actively suppressed or prevented.
    An atomization device comprises a rotor-stator type mixer in a processing tank. The atomization device performs processing such as emulsification, dispersion, atomization, mixing, or stirring on a processing object with fluidity using the rotor-stator type mixer while an inside of the processing tank is maintained in a pressured state, at atmospheric pressure, or in a vacuum state. The atomization device has a mechanism in which the rotating rotor makes the processing object flow at a predetermined pressure or higher.

    Abstract: Provided is a highly precise system for controlling proportional mixing, wherein the proportional mixing system is capable of maintaining the mixture ratio of flow rates of a primary liquid and a secondary liquid at a predetermined target mixture ratio. This highly precise proportional mixing system maintains the mixture ratio of flow rates of a primary liquid and a secondary liquid to be constant while recognizing an error integrated retroactively using the integrated flow rates of the primary liquid and a secondary liquid. This highly precise proportional mixing system also estimates future integrated error from past error trends to control the instantaneous flow rate of the primary liquid and and/or secondary liquid.

    Abstract: A solid food is a solid food having a solid form obtained by compression molding a powder, in which in a case where a drop test in which the solid food is dropped onto a drop face is repeated until the solid food is broken, the number of times of dropping leading to breakage when a dropping energy density per unit fracture stress EF is 2×10−4 [(J/m2)/(N/m2)] is 3 times or more, the number of times of dropping leading to breakage when EF is 1×10−4 [(J/m2)/(N/m2)] is 10 times or more, and the number of times of dropping leading to breakage when EF is 5×10−5 [(J/m2)/(N/m2)] is more than 30 times, EF being obtained by dividing a dropping energy density in the drop test by a fracture stress of the solid food.
