摘要:
A method of manufacturing toner particles capable of decreasing the manufacturing costs by simplifying the manufacturing apparatus and by decreasing the number of the steps, as well as to provide toner particles, a two-component developer, a developing apparatus and an image forming apparatus are provided. A high-pressure homogenizer is constituted by a tank, a feed pump, a high-pressure pump, a heat exchanger, a nozzle, a first depressurizing module, a cooling unit, a second depressurizing module and a take-out port arranged in this order. A flow path constituted in the first depressurizing module has a straight portion tilted with respect to a direction in which the aqueous slurry passes and a portion for relaxing the flow of the aqueous slurry.

The aggregated particles are manufactured through a method of manufacturing aggregated particles, which includes an aggregating step, a depressurizing step, and a cooling step. In the aggregating step, a slurry is prepared which contains aggregated particles obtained by flowing an aqueous slurry of resin fine particles having a volume average particle diameter in the range of 0.4 μm to 3 μm through a coiled piping in a heated and pressurized state and thereby aggregating the resin fine particles. In the depressurizing step, the slurry containing the aggregated particles is depressurized, and a particle size control is conducted by disintegrating coarse particles so as to homogenize particle diameters of the aggregated particles. In the cooling step, the slurry containing the aggregated particles of which particle diameters have been homogenized is cooled.

A method of manufacturing aggregate particles capable of obtaining aggregate particles having high mechanical strength, small particle size, with narrow particle size distribution width by preventing interfusion of bubbles in the aggregate particles during stirring is provided. Aggregate particles are manufactured by stirring a resin particle slurry including resin particles dispersed in an aqueous medium and contained in a stirring vessel by a stirring section having a impeller and two or more screen members disposed so as to surround the impeller in the stirring vessel and each formed with a plurality of slits and aggregating the resin particles.

摘要:
A functional particle is manufactured by a method including an aggregating step, a depressurizing step, and a cooling step. In the aggregating step, the functional particle is obtained by flowing a mixed slurry containing a core particle and a shell particle through a coiled pipeline while heating the mixed slurry to a glass transition temperature or higher of the core particle, to deposit the shell particles on the surface of the core particle. In the depressurizing step, the grain size of the functional particle is controlled and the coarse particle is pulverized to make the grain size of the functional particles uniform. In the cooling step, re-aggregation of the functional particles with unified grain size is prevented.

There are provided an economical method capable of obtaining very small resin particles, in particular, resin particles; resin particles produced by the method; a toner and developer containing the resin particles; a developing device; and an image forming apparatus. Spherical particles are produced according to a producing method of spherical particles including a pulverizing step. In the pulverizing step, a dispersion liquid of coarse particles of material to be processed, which includes a polymer dispersant and coarse particles of material to be processed dispersed in a liquid medium is passed through a high-pressure homogenizer having a stepwise pressure release mechanism and thereby coarse particles of material to be processed contained in the dispersion liquid are milled under conditions where the melt viscosity of the dispersion liquid at a time point of passing the nozzle portion of the high-pressure homogenizer may be 5000 cP or less.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a toner in which uneven distribution of toner ingredients by subjecting them to fine dispersion is prevented and which is excellent in transferability, cleaning properties, anti-filming properties, anti-blocking properties, high-temperature offset resisting properties and transparency is provided. Melt-kneaded substances include binder resins, colorants and release agents, respectively. The colorant and the release agent are dispersed in the binder resin. The melt-kneaded substance is negatively charged by an anionic dispersant, whereas the melt-kneaded substance is positively charged by a cationic dispersant. An aggregate is formed by heteroaggregation of the melt-kneaded substances. The aggregate is fused by heating and formed into a spherical toner.
