Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing a silica glass crucible includes a rotating means for rotating a mold and a supply means for feeding a silica powder inside the mold, wherein the supply means has a feeding part for delivering the silica powder in a manner releasing it to fall to a position away from the inner wall surface of the mold inside the mold, and a dispersing part for changing, to one toward the inner wall surface side, at a fall position, the direction in which the silica powder fed from the feeding part moves, while also widening an angle at which the silica powder disperses toward the inner wall surface at the fall position. The apparatus is intended to allow a silica powder layer to be stably formed in the mold in a short period of time.
