Abstract: A food material powder supply device 1 of the disclosure includes a supply tank 50 that temporarily stores food material powder in a tank 50A and supplies the food material powder to a processing container 2A of a food processing machine 2, a vacuum device 70 that reduces the pressure inside the supply tank 50 with vacuum pumps 71A and 71B, and a control device 3 that operates the vacuum device 70 to reduce the internal pressure of the supply tank 50 to be equal to or lower than a predetermined atmospheric pressure at which moisture of the food material powder is evaporated and cools the food material powder in the supply tank 50. A stirring member 54 which is driven to rotate during the cooling of the food material powder is arranged inside the tank 50A.

Abstract: A food heating apparatus includes a main tank, a water exhaust tank, reserve tanks, communication chambers, heat insulating partition walls, a water exhaust tank and pressure exhaust pipes. The main tank stores water exceeding 100° C. The reserve tanks communicate with the main tank and imparts hydraulic head pressure to the water in the main tank. The communication chambers are respectively between the main tank and the reserve tank and have top plates higher than a top plate of the main tank. The heat insulating partition walls separate the main tank and each reserve tank and protrude into the front communication chamber. The water exhaust tank higher than the communication chambers has an upper surface higher than water surfaces of the reserve tanks. The pressure exhaust pipes have inlet openings in the top plates of the communication chambers and outlet openings within the water exhaust tank higher than the water surfaces.

Abstract: A metering device includes a storage tank, a funnel, a feeder, at least one measuring container, a first driver, and a second driver. Liquid and string-shaped foods are sent from the storage tank to the funnel by the feeder. The measuring container is provided under the funnel in a measuring position, and volumetrically meters the string-shaped foods sent from the funnel while ejecting the liquid. The first driver moves the funnel or the measuring container to insert the funnel into the measuring container at a time of metering, and moves the funnel or the measuring container to separate the funnel from the measuring container after metering is completed. The second driver moves the measuring container from the measuring position to an ejecting position.
