Abstract
A device for producing a dispersion including elements including a first phase, which are dispersed in a continuous phase immiscible with the first phase is described herein. The device including at least one production nozzle including a first duct intended to convey a first fluid that forms the first phase, a second duct, coaxially surrounding part of the first duct, able to convey a second fluid that forms the continuous phase, and an outlet. The nozzle is able to form, at the outlet, a fluid jet including the first fluid and the second fluid surrounding the first fluid. The production device additionally includes a fragmentation device for mechanically breaking up the fluid jet, positioned in the vicinity of the outlet of the nozzle, the fragmentation device including a mobile part intended to break up the fluid jet mechanically into a plurality of elements.
