PURPOSE: To enable ingredient to automatically be fed in a manner excellent in quantitative nature by equipping a hopper to feed food ingredients containing solid chopped product with a vibrator, a fork-shaped pressing device, an inversion-type cylindrical shutter and a biaxial multidirectional rotary brush.
CONSTITUTION: A hopper 1 is equipped with a vibrator 1, a fork-shaped pressing device 4, an inversion-type cylindrical shutter 3 and a biaxial multidirectional rotary brush 7, etc. Food ingredients containing chopped solid product are then fed to the hopper 1, and, while preventing the bridge and adherence of the ingredients by the vibrator 2, said ingredients are forcedly fed by the fork- shaped pressing device 4 into the inversion-type cylindrical shutter 3. Thence, pressurized air is introduced via the relevant port 5 into said shutter to forcedly deliver the ingredients into a diffusion part 6 followed by diffusion of said ingredients onto the bottom through the biaxial multidirectional rotary brush 7.
