An agitation/deaeration apparatus is provided which causes a container containing a viscous to-be-kneaded object to be rotated and revolved simultaneously, to agitate and deaerate the to-be-kneaded object, wherein piping (wiring) connecting the container and an external device is prevented from twisting even when the container rotates. In an agitation/deaeration apparatus (1A) which performs agitation and deaeration of a to-be-kneaded object (K) by causing a container (9) accommodating a to-be-kneaded object (K) to be rotated about a rotation axis (Y2) of the container (9) and revolved about a revolution axis (Y2), provided are: a first rotation drive mechanism (motor 5) configured to drive and rotate a revolution table (7); a second rotation drive mechanism (a round-belt groove 3d, a pulley P3) configured to rotate the container (9) in a reverse direction at the same rotational speed relative to the revolution table (7); one or more of distribution means (a suction tube 8) of which one end is connected with the container (9) and the other end is connected with the external device. |
