Abstract
In the method and apparatus for continuous roasting of food materials according to the present invention, a food material is mixed up by blades (9f) provided on a paddle plate (9d) via an elastic material (9f1) in a tubular cylinder (1) with open ends. Thus the blades (9f1) come in contact, at least once, with all faces of the inner wall of the tubular cylinder (1) while the screw shaft makes one rotation. As a result, roasting can be completed in a favorable manner.
