The lifter 273 is provided on the support bracket 271. The lifter 273 is connected to the double hopper bracket 272. The lifter 273 raises and lowers the double hopper bracket 272 in the vertical direction according to a control signal from the controller. In this case, the lifter 273 adjusts the distance between the container C and the double hopper 260 by raising and lowering the double hopper bracket 272 so that food is properly put into the double hopper 260.

Here, in the double hopper 260 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the outer hopper 261 inserted into the inlet (E) of the wrapping paper (P), and the food are put into the outer hopper 261 and inserted into the inner side of the wrapping paper (P). It includes an inner hopper 265 spaced apart from the inlet (E) of (P).

The outer hopper 261 forms the exterior of the double hopper 260. The outer hopper 261 is inserted into the inlet E of the wrapping paper P. In this case, the outer hopper 261 is inserted into the wrapping paper (P). The outer hopper 261 may be seated on the double hopper bracket 272.

A contact portion 262 is provided on the outer hopper 261. The contact portion 262 may be formed to be inclined. The contact portion 262 is formed to have a narrower diameter in the downward direction. The inner surface of the wrapping paper P is in contact with the contact portion 262. In this case, the inner surface of the inlet E of the wrapping paper P may be in contact with the contact portion 262.

The contact portion 262 is in contact with the inner surface of the wrapping paper P to support the inner surface of the wrapping paper P to expand, so that food is smoothly fed into the wrapping paper P. In addition, the contact portion 262 expands the inlet E of the wrapping paper P, so that food is smoothly fed into the inside of the wrapping paper P.

The outer hopper 261 has an opening 263 through which food passes. The opening 263 is formed at the end of the contact portion 262. The opening 263 may be disposed at the entrance E of the wrapping paper P. Food put into the double hopper 260 through the opening 263 is put into the wrapping paper (P).

Food is put into the inner hopper 265. The inner hopper 265 is inserted into the outer hopper 261. In this case, the food is put into the wrapping paper (P) through the inner hopper 265.

The inner hopper 265 is spaced apart from the inlet E of the wrapping paper P. When food is put into the inner hopper 265, the food is put into the wrapping paper (P) through the inner hopper 265, and the inner hopper 265 is spaced apart from the inlet (E) of the wrapping paper (P) in both horizontal and vertical directions.
