Particulate material processing apparatus and particulate material processing system

A fluororesin particulate material processing apparatus comprising:

• a vessel having a charging port configured to charge the fluororesin particulate material into the vessel;
• and
• a processing tank configured to receive the fluororesin particulate material charged from said charging port, the processing tank being shaped so as to narrow in a downward direction with at least a lower part of said processing tank being fabricated from a gas-permeable material configured to allow a process gas for processing the fluororesin particulate material to pass through;
• a gas impermeable closing member configured to cover the upper part of the processing tank;
• and
• a dispersing member configured to disperse and level the fluororesin particulate material on said processing tank, the dispersing member being disposed below said charging port.
