PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food material mixing machine in which the food material in the mixing drum can easily be taken out.SOLUTION: A food material mixing machine comprises: a mixing drum that is rotatably supported on the machine frame around the drum rotation shaft core in a lateral direction and a control unit that controls the rotation of the mixing drum and in which by rotation-driving the mixing drum in one direction around the drum rotation shaft core a plurality of food materials are mixed in the mixing drum, and in which the mixing drum comprises an openable/closable lid for feeding and discharging a food material into and from the mixing drum and an open/close mechanism that disables the opening of the lid during the one direction-rotation of the mixing drum as well as that releases the opening of the lid during the other direction-rotation of the mixing drum, and the control unit rotates the mixing drum in one direction during the agitation of food material as well as the control unit rotates the mixing drum in the other direction during the discharge of food material.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】混合ドラムの食材を簡単に取り出すことができるようにする。【解決手段】機械フレームに左右方向のドラム回転軸芯回りに回転自在に支持された混合ドラムと、混合ドラムの回転を制御する制御装置とを備え、混合ドラムをドラム回転軸芯回りに一方向に回転駆動することにより混合ドラム内で複数の食材を混合する食材混合機であって、混合ドラムは、当該混合ドラム内への食材の供排出を行う開閉自在な蓋体と、混合ドラムの一方向の回転時には蓋体の開放を不能にすると共に混合ドラムの他方向の回転時には蓋体の開放を解除する開閉機構とを備えており、制御装置は、食材の撹拌時には混合ドラムを一方向に回転させると共に食材の排出時には混合ドラムを他方向に回転させる。【選択図】図21
