A processing apparatus for fluid with a simple structure, high
productivity, ability of precise dispersion, emulsification and grinding,
is provided.The apparatus of the present invention comprises at least two
processing faces of a first face and a second face, both of which are
arranged in a tight-closed passage, and positioned opposite to each other
to constitute part of said passage, and a contact pressure applying
mechanism for putting both faces 1, 2 into closed contact with each
other, wherein the rotation of the second processing face 2 in respect of
the first processing face 1 may cause dispersion or emulsification of the
fluid to be processed between both processing faces 1, 2. The first and
second processing faces 1, 2 are placed in closed contact with or
adjacent to each other by means of said contact pressure applying
mechanism, and the fluid to be processed is actuated by said rotation to
pass between the first and second processing faces 1, 2, as it is forming
fluid films between said processing faces 1, 2, so that said fluid will
be emulsified or dispersed to a desired extent.
