• an endless conveyer which has a conveying surface circulating in an endless manner and is arranged so that a longitudinal direction of the endless conveyer is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to a horizontal direction;
• a plurality of cups each having a bottom plate, a side plate surrounding a peripheral edge of the bottom plate, and an opening formed at an upper end of the side plate, wherein a main ingredient which is a food is fed into the cup;
• and
• a rotation mechanism which rotates the cup around a center line passing through a center of the bottom plate and a center of the opening,
• wherein the cup is attached to the endless conveyer to be perpendicular to the conveying surface, and
• the rotation mechanism comprises:
• a rotation shaft having one end fixed to the bottom plate of the cup and the other end;
• a driven magnet which is a permanent magnet provided at the other end of the rotation shaft;
• a driving magnet which is a permanent magnet facing the driven magnet at a predetermined interval;
• and
• a rotation driving device having an actuator which rotates the driving magnet.
