A quad-centric nozzle and system for hydrocapsule encapsulation is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a quad-centric nozzle is disclosed for encapsulating discrete droplets of liquid by generating a continuous coating or layer of a polymerizable liquid which is substantially immiscible with the core liquid. In at least one embodiment, the quad-centric nozzle includes: a material feed port assembly, a polymer feed port assembly, a first water feed port assembly, a second water feed port assembly and an encapsulated material exit port assembly. In at least one embodiment, the quad-centric nozzle is configured for use in a system for hydrocapsule encapsulation having a pressure control system, a water control system and sparging column, and an ultraviolet exposure chamber system.

Quad-centric nozzle and system for hydrocapsule encapsulation

A metered pump system for hydrocapsule encapsulation is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a system for hydrocapsule encapsulation includes a nozzle assembly and metered pump for encapsulating discrete droplets of liquid by generating a continuous coating of a polymerizable liquid which is substantially immiscible with the core liquid. The metered pump system is configured to control a stroke length and a pulsation speed to attain constant shear with each pump of water, and a volume of water in each stroke and a speed of the stroke is controlled. In at least one embodiment, the nozzle includes a material feed port, a polymer feed port, a water feed port, and an encapsulated material exit port. In at least one embodiment, the metered pump is configured for use in a hydrocapsule encapsulation system having a pressure control system, a water control system, sparging column, and ultraviolet exposure chamber system.
