However, the above-mentioned conventional konjac ball processing step has the following drawbacks.

That is, the dust such as soil and sand adhering to the material A is removed by the dust removing conveyor 2 and is discharged to the outside from the discharge portion 5 formed in the water channel 4. However, the dust removing conveyor 2 and the discharging unit 5 make the gap between the plurality of rollers provided in the dust removing conveyor 2 extremely narrow so that the material A is removed together with the dust and is not discharged to the outside. Since a perforated plate is arranged on the sheet, it is impossible to remove or discharge the sheet except those which are very small compared to the material A.

Therefore, the mixed pebbles are transferred to the hopper 7 without being removed and discharged.

Therefore, there is a drawback that the slicer 7 for slicing the material A is damaged by the pebbles.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is intended to remove pebbles and the like mixed in konjak balls during the passage of water to prevent slicing of konjak balls from being disturbed. is there.
