1. A continuous manufacturing system that continuously manufactures a product from a powder of a raw material, the system comprising:
a first processing device that performs first processing on the powder of the raw material;
a second processing device that performs second processing on the powder on which the first processing device has performed the first processing; and
an inspection and sorting device including an inspection chamber into which powder sent from the first processing device flows, wherein
when a prescribed amount of the powder has accumulated in the inspection chamber, the inspection and sorting device inspects the powder inside the inspection chamber after blocking a path connecting the first processing device to the inspection chamber;
when the inspection ends, the inspection and sorting device removes the blocking after discharging the powder from inside the inspection chamber; and
the inspection and sorting device includes a sensor that senses whether or not the powder that has accumulated in the inspection chamber has reached a prescribed height, and the inspection and sorting device performs the inspection when the sensor senses that the prescribed amount of the powder has accumulated in the inspection chamber.
