POWDER FILLING METHOD AND POWDER FILLING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a powder filling method by which powder can be excellently filled irrespective of the shape of a cavity, and a powder filling device. SOLUTION: The powder filling device 10 contains a powder holding part 30 to hold powder m. The powder holding part 30 contains a pair of inclination members 34a, 34b which are respectively inclined and arranged opposingly so as to form a powder drop port between the mutual lower end parts. When powder is filled into the cavity 108 formed in a die 104, each of the inclination members 34a, 34b is mutually moved reciprocatingly in the opposite direction by air cylinders 40a and 40b, and the powder m is filled into the cavity 108 while force parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cavity 108 is being applied to the powder m inside the powder holding part 30.
