METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING MICRO-CAPSULES COMPRISING A CORE SURROUNDED BY A SHELL

A system for forming micro-capsules comprising a core surrounded by a shell comprises a liquid container (1) and jet means (30) for generating and maintaining a liquid jet. The liquid container is connected to supply means (10,15) for supplying a shell liquid to a fill level of said container. The container is bound by a wall (4) having at least one opening (5) below said fill level that is substantially leak-free to said shell liquid. The jet means are connected to a liquid source (20,25) for supplying a liquid flow of a core liquid and comprise a nozzle (30) for ejecting a jet of said core liquid along a jet propagation path (35). The nozzle opens below said fill level (2) within said container at a distance from said opening (5) and is directed to said opening such that said jet propagation path crosses said opening.
