Thus, the nut 50 is provided so as to be able to move forward and backward as the screw shaft 49 rotates forward or backward. Therefore, the compression degree of the spring 41 is changed by rotating the resistance motor 44 based on the operation signal from the operation panel 9 and moving the nut 50 forward and backward as the screw shaft 49 rotates. For this control, a convex portion 51 is provided at the end of the screw shaft 49 and a convex portion detection sensor 52 is provided around the end, and the number of rotations of the resistance motor 44 is controlled based on information obtained from the sensor 52. . Further, in order to determine the minimum and maximum compression degree of the spring 41, the detected object 53 protrudes from the nut 50, and the forward limit switch 54 and the backward limit switch 55, which are limit switches, are opposed to each other in the front-rear direction. The movement range is regulated. When the degree of compression of the spring 41 is the minimum, the spring 41 is not expanded or contracted at all, and the nut 50 is in the retreat limit position, the pressing force of the spring 41 is released, and the resistance plate 40 is opened. A gap is formed between the outlet 39 and the brown rice is discharged as it is from the gap. Then, by making the nut 50 move forward with the position of the retreat limit as the origin, the degree of compression of the spring 41, and hence the pressing force applied in the direction in which the resistance plate 40 closes the outlet, is increased, and the degree of whitening according to the pressing force Will be determined.
