ABSTRACT:
A powder transporting device includes a drop path that allows powder to drop, a first crushing member that is located in the drop path and crushes the powder cohesion in the drop path by reciprocating along the drop path, and a second crushing member that located in the drop path that crushes the powder cohesion in the drop path by reciprocating along the drop path, wherein when the first crushing member moves toward a downstream side in a dropping direction of the powder in the drop path, a tip of the first crushing member at the downstream side in a dropping direction is inclined to a side where the second crushing member is located, and comes in contact with the second crushing member.
