It is loaded on the upper part of the conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 8 at a portion corresponding to the position of the lower opening. A part of the inserted rolling pin 1 is once collected in the slack portion 72 formed by the weight of the rolling pin 1 loaded on the inclined surface of the first conveyor 7. Another part of the inserted rolling pin 1 is loaded on the second conveyor 8 and further collected in the slack portion 72 of the first conveyor 7 with the rotation of the conveyor. Several rolling pins 1 stored in the slack portion 72 are in a substantially stationary state due to their own weight and the pressurized weight of the upper rolling pin 1, and accompanying rotation of the first conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 8. Then, the portion of the noodle 2 that comes into contact with each wire mesh belt is first scraped off by the wire mesh portion. Next, since the belt interval in the rotation direction of the first conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 8 is gradually narrowed, the belt is stored in the slack portion 72 of the first conveyor 7 according to the rotation of the two conveyors. The rolling pins 1 are tightly fitted one by one between the first conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 8 in a pressurized state, and conveyed while being rotated in one direction by different rotation speeds of the two conveyors. At this time, the noodles 2 adhered to the rolling pin 1 are crushed by the wire mesh belts of both conveyors according to the above-mentioned rotating conveyance, or are peeled off by the edges of the wire mesh and are scraped off. Next, the rolling pin 1 is transported while being rotated from the first conveyor 7 onto the fixed receiving plate 9, and the rotation of the second conveyor 8 causes the tension of the wire mesh belt 81 and the rotation of the receiving plate 9. In a state of being constantly pressed and pressed by the leaf spring 93 provided at the lower portion, the movable member moves on the receiving plate 9 while continuing to rotate. The noodle segments 2 adhered to the rolling pin 1 are crushed by the oblique edging portion 92 provided on the receiving plate 9 and the wire mesh belt 81 of the second conveyor 8 in accordance with the above-mentioned rotational movement, and further skewed. The edge of the noodle drop hole 91 forming the portion 92 and the edge of the wire mesh of the belt 81 are scraped off, fall off, and fall down from the noodle drop hole 91. Since the noodle segments 2 adhered to the rolling pin 1 are fixed in an aligned manner at a substantially equal pitch with a slight gap, the first and second conveyors are formed by crossing wires skewed on both sides in the transport direction. The wire mesh belts 71 and 81 and the skewed edge member 92 provided on the receiving plate 9 are formed so as to be skewed on both sides in the transport direction. Therefore, the attached noodles 2 are continuously contacted with the upper and lower surfaces by the members obliquely moving in both side directions. It is efficiently shaved or scraped off and completely removed from rolling pin 1. As described above, the noodles 2 dropped from the rolling pin 1 by the first conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 8 and the second conveyor 8 and the receiving plate 9 form the noodles on the noodle collection container 10. It falls into the collection hopper 101 and is collected and stored in the noodle section collection bag 102 attached to the lower collection opening. Further, as described above, the rolling pin 1 from which the noodle segments 2 have been removed is conveyed while rotating on the receiving plate 9 by the second conveyor 8, and opens downward from the end of the receiving plate 9 in the conveying direction.
