The lump-like cooked rice in each container 9 is then discharged to each take-out chute 45.

そして、放出された米飯には調味未添加装置により調味
料が噴霧されて、次に包装装置４６により耐熱性の合成
樹脂フィルム等によって包装される。Then, the released cooked rice is sprayed with seasoning by a seasoning-free device, and then wrapped by a packaging device 46 with a heat-resistant synthetic resin film or the like.

また、容器受体４はコンベヤーにより再び計量装置１４
の方へと搬送される。Moreover, the container receiver 4 is transferred again to the weighing device 14 by the conveyor.
transported towards.

The guide chute 1 can reliably guide the rice, etc., and the guided flow is constricted by the guide chute located near the top of the storage container. Therefore, the rice, etc. can be guided into the storage container without spilling. It is possible to accurately and efficiently inject into
