When the material in the turtle-shaped container 1 runs out, the lid lift switch S
7 is turned upward, the lead screw 18 is rotated in the upward direction by the motor 22, and the elevating table 19 is raised, and when it hits the limit switch LS2, the rotation of the motor 22 is stopped and the elevating table is stopped. With this, the lid body 6
Since it opens, the hook-shaped container 1 can be removed and cleaned by operating the lever 5. After setting the hook-shaped container 1 and switching the switch S7 downward to close the lid 6, the material is again pulverized using the cutter device B in the same manner as before, and kneaded under low vacuum in the kneading machine container. Extrude with Meat Chiyotu Par D.

The kneading machine described above is used for producing dough materials for dough products such as sausages, kamaboko, and chikuwa, but it can also be used for kneading materials for other dough products that do not require air bubbles.

The present invention is as described above, and when kneading the dough materials for a dough product, the inside of the kneading container is evacuated and the dough is kneaded, so that a dough product without air bubbles or traces of air bubbles in the structure of the dough material can be obtained. It is characterized by the fact that the valve device C has been devised in order to smoothly take out the material from which air bubbles have been removed. That is, in the present invention, when the connecting hole 33 is selected by sliding the valve mounting block 32, the cylindrical hole 29 and the connecting hole 33 provide smooth flow from the material outlet 27 at the bottom of the container 1 to the material inlet 30 of the chopper D. A vertical hole is formed so that the mixed material can be smoothly and easily supplied from the container 1 to the chopper D.
Even if the inside of the container 1 is evacuated to remove air bubbles, if the passage of the material is curved or there is an obstacle, the material will not descend smoothly.However, in the present invention, the passage is straight up and down and the material flows. It's easy. When the valve mounting block 32 is further slid to select the valve body 35 and the valve is closed, the valve head 37 closes the material outlet 27 of the container 1, and the valve head 37 is moved under the hook tip 13a. Since it protrudes into the created space 1a, no leftover dough remains at the bottom of the container.
