PURPOSE: To distribute objects to be conveyed evenly all over the width direction by arranging a box-shaped wall body whose upper and lower sides are opened above a conveyor belt, arranging a horizontal rotary disc plate rotating around a vertical axis in the wall body, and supplying the objects to be conveyed onto the rotary disc plate. CONSTITUTION: An object feeder 40 is supported above a conveyor belt 34 by means of two supporting frames 41, 41. That is, the object feeder 40 is provided with a box-shaped wall body 42, whose upper and lower sides are opened, and a rotary disc plate 43 supported by supporting frames 41, 41 similarly. When shirasu fishes F are dropped in the center part, of the rotary disc plate 43 by means of a throw-in chute 12, the fishes F are turned by means of the rotary disc plate 43 so as to be scattered around by the centrifugal force of the rotary disc plate 43. In this process, a part of the fishes are dropped on the conveyor belt 34 as they are retarded before arriving at the inside face of the wall body 42, while the rest of the fishes reach the inside face of the wall body 42 and collide against it to be dropped on the conveyor belt 34. |
