A method of manufacturing toner including; melting and kneading a mixture
including a binder resin and a coloring agent; cooling down the melted
and kneaded mixture to provide a cooled mixture; coarsely pulverizing the
cooled mixture to provide a coarsely pulverized mixture; finely
pulverizing the coarsely pulverized mixture by supplying it via a
pulverized material supply to a pulverizer that includes a rotation axis,
a rotor attached to the rotation axis, and stators arranged around the
rotor with a gap between the stators and the surface of the rotor and
that performs pulverization in a circular space formed by the gap; and
classifying the finely pulverized material by a classifier into at least
fine powder, a toner product and coarse powder, wherein the coarse powder
is returned to the pulverized material supply as part of the coarsely
pulverized mixture.
