At this time, a cold air flow can be introduced into the condensing tower 2, and the pumping pump 35 can be started. The operation of the pumping pump 35 will transport the homogenized materials in the molten homogenizing kettle 1 to the spray head 3 for spray condensation through the feed port, the discharge port, the rotary joint, the connecting pipe and the hose. In this process, the rotation of the hollow rotating shaft 4 will also drive the fixed plate 5 to rotate in a circle, and then the spray head 3 can be driven to move in a circle through the first mounting plate 6 and the mounting rotating shaft 7. At the same time, the fixed plate 5 The circumferential rotation will also drive the vertical shaft 15 and the self-rotating gear 16 to move in a circle. At this time, with the cooperation of the annular gear 17, the self-rotating gear 16 and the vertical shaft 15 can rotate while moving in a circle. The rotation of the vertical shaft 15 will drive the driving shaft 11 to rotate synchronously through the second bevel gear 18 and the third bevel gear 19. The rotation of the driving shaft 11 will drive the eccentric driving column 13 to rotate in a circle through the connecting arm 12.

The material droplets are evenly distributed in a wider area to avoid local overcooling or overheating, so as to obtain a more uniform cooling effect. In combination with the setting of the spiral blades 20, the cooling airflow will flow in a spiral in the condensation tower 2. The spiral flow of the airflow can increase the turbulence of the cooling airflow, thereby increasing the gas-liquid contact area and contact time, improving the cooling efficiency, and the gas-liquid exchange in the turbulent state is more sufficient, which is conducive to rapid cooling and solidification. At the same time, the spiral flow of the airflow can ensure that the cooling gas is evenly distributed in the condensation tower 2, and ultimately ensure that each material droplet can be fully cooled, effectively improving the encapsulation efficiency and the quality of the microcapsules.
