Decomposer 190 has a central float 192 and a vesicle vane 194.

The center float body 192 is inserted through the stirring shaft 162 and has a buoyancy closing space 192a formed therein to have buoyancy.

The first interference member 192b is spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the center float body 192 such that the first interference member 192b is spaced apart from the inner circumferential direction and the first interference member 192b and the second interference member 192b, The second interference members 162a are projected so as to be spaced apart from each other so as to interfere with each other and to allow the vertical up and down movement.

Accordingly, when the stirring shaft 162 rotates, the center float body 192 also rotates together.

Four vesicle vanes 194 are spaced from each other along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the center float body 192.

A conveyance guide groove 196 formed in a bottom surface 194b of the vesicle blade 194 so as to communicate with the other side 194c from the one side 194c to the other side 194d and to allow the bubbles to flow therein is agitated along the extension direction, And the radius is gradually increased or decreased with reference to the axis 162.

A plurality of crushing pins 197 projecting toward the center of the conveying guide groove 196 so as to crumble the bubbles are formed in the conveying guide groove 196 of the vest vane 194 in an inclined manner along the extending direction.

The crushing pins 197 protrude from both sides along the extending direction of the conveying guide grooves 196 and are arranged so as to have a zigzag pattern.

The vesicle vanes 194 are formed with ventilation holes 198 that are spaced apart from each other along the extending direction of the conveyance guide groove 196 and communicate with the conveyance guide groove 196 and pass through the upper surface 194a.
