- and
- a feeding unit having an intermittent feeding means for intermittently supplying the vegetables to be cut to the cutting means,
- the feeding unit including a conveyor frame horizontally extending from the cutting unit;
- a drive roller and a driven roller, being installed across side walls of the conveyor frame;
- a conveyor belt, being installed on the drive roller and the driven roller in a tightened state;
- and
- a holding roller, being disposed above the conveyor belt on the rear side thereof with a clearance to the conveyor belt being held,
- to the drive roller, a oneway clutch being mounted, and with rocking turning of a rocking bar disposed on the oneway clutch, the drive roller being intermittently rotation-driven, thereby the vegetables placed on the conveyor belt being made intermittently feedable toward the cutting means, and feeding of the vegetables at the time of cutting operation by the cutting means being made stoppable.
