Further, since the rectifying body having the concave curved surface is provided at a required distance from the lower end of the first supply cylinder, the powder can be extremely effectively dispersed by the collision of the powder with the rectifying body. At the same time, since the mixed fluid ejected from the first supply cylinder flows along the concave curved surface of the rectifying body, it is possible to stabilize the adhered flow that flows along the outer periphery of the lower portion of the first supply cylinder, and improve the classification efficiency. Can be achieved.
