And a switching valve 37 for switching the communication of the inlet 40. Then, the plunger 35 that moves forward and backward in close contact with the inside of the measuring portion 36 is advanced and moved at a high speed, and the liquid material 26 is ejected and discharged from the discharge port 39.
- a plurality of bubble removal mechanisms 41 may be provided to reliably prevent bubbles from being mixed. Moreover, it may replace with or use together with the bubble removal mechanism 41 of a present Example, and you may make it provide the simple bubble removal mechanism which does not have the pressurization / decompression pump shown in FIG. Providing the inlet of the outflow pipe 20 at an upper position away from the bottom surface of the bubble removing container 18 can prevent inhalation of particles 42 that accumulate on the bottom surface or float near the bottom surface. Such a simple bubble removal mechanism is effective when it is necessary to reduce the size of the receiving unit 3.
