FIELD: mechanical engineering; packing facilities. SUBSTANCE: proposed method and device are designed for filling container which has many holes, each containing corresponding dose of powder material, for instance, medicine. Method comes to installing empty container in position when its holes are in communication with reservoir containing powder material. This material, under action of gas flow, passes from reservoir to fill holes. Then container is separated from reservoir. Filled up holes are hermetically sealed, when necessary, with sheet material. With holes filled up, their volume defines value of each dose making it unnecessary to meter out dose before filling into hole. Container can be made as rigid or flexible plate. Flexible plate can be rolled into cylinder for use in inhalator. Invention contains description of device for implementing proposed method and inhalator designed for use with cylindrical container. EFFECT: provision of precise metering out of medicine doses at reduced size of container and increased quantity of doses. 12 cl, 56 dwg
