Abstract: A microencapsulation of varied substances such as aromatic agents, colorings, inks, chemical reactives, pharmaceutical and phytosanitary products, fireproof products, glues, finely dispersed in an aqueous phase, in order to obtain microcapsules that are simulaneously isodiametrical and with regularized diameters, which consists in placing face to place an aqueous solution of polymers and/or hydrosoluble copolymers including at least one of the chemical functions belonging to the group constituted by the radicles --COOH, --OH, --CONH.sub.2, --COHNR, --CONRR', --NH.sub.2, NHR and --NRR', constituting the material of the capsule containing shell, and a solution of substances to be coated in at least one hydrophobic organic solvent, density close to 1, then submitting the liquid medium thus constituted to a mechanical shearing action corresponding to a shearing coefficient included between 8,000 second.sup.-1 and 70,000 second.sup.-1, while the medium is maintained at a temperature between 15.degree. C. and 85.

Abstract: There is described a device which comprises fixed means to feed forks one by one to the stacking location along a path at right angle to the transfer means movement direction between the parallel members and adjacent that edge provided with said perforations of those bags retained by said members, said forks of U-shape being free relative to one another, with legs directed at right angle to the transfer means movement direction and the leg free ends being directed towards the means allowing to release the bags from the transfer means in such a way that the fork legs enter the bag perforations, and means for moving the fork brought to the stacking location and on which will be stacked the bags to form a stack, along a direction in parallel relationship with the legs thereof to let said fork lie in two positions, the one position in which the fork is stationary to allow stacking the bags during said stacking operation and the second position in which the forks is free and can leave by gravity the device with th
