PURPOSE: To enable the control of a blasting region to make it uniform by a construction wherein an opening-closing mechanism taking only particles of a definite velocity out of a flow of particles is provided in two places on the downstream side of a throttling-expanding nozzle.
CONSTITUTION: Particles of a material gas after flowing into a throttling- expanding nozzle 1 form a flow inside the throttling-expanding nozzle 1 and a converged flow as a beam after flowing out of the throttling-expanding nozzle 1. Since an opening-closing mechanism 7 is provided in two places on the downstream side, the beam-shaped flow formed by the throttling-expanding nozzle 1 is divided by the opening-closing mechanisms 7 provided in two stages and is taken out as particles having a velocity within certain limits. Besides, the particles are blown against a substrate 6 as a beam having a substantially- definite cross section of a jet stream, and therefore the region upon which the beam is driven can be controlled with ease.
