There is provided a method of manufacturing a toner, using a shearing
force for granulation, in which bubbles are prevented from arising upon
application of the shearing force, thus manufacturing a diameter-reduced
toner having a particle diameter of about 5 .mu.m which is favorable for
enhancement in definition and resolution of images. Upon granulating
after a kneaded product of toner raw material is mixed with water
dispersion, an interior part of granulating system is heated and
pressurized and moreover, both of the shearing force and collision force
are applied to the kneaded product of toner raw material by use of a
high-speed rotating dispersion type granulator composed of a cylindrical
pressure-resistant container, a spinning rotor, following screens, and a
fixed screen.
