To keep the level of the kneaded product constant in the discharging chute in the downstream of a horizontal drum type kneader.
A paddle type stirring mechanism 25 is arranged inside a drum-shaped casing 20 having a feeding inlet 21 in the upper part of one end and a discharging outlet in the lower part of the other end to compose a horizontal drum type kneader 3. A partition wall 32 having an opening 33 extending upward and downward is arranged in the upstream vicinity of the discharging outlet 22 in the casing 20. A movable gate 34 capable of rise and fall translocation by a rise-and-fall driving mechanism 35 is arranged inside the opening 33. When the level of a kneaded product 10a in the discharging chute 24, detected by a level sensor 36, is lower than a specified level, a controller 37 gives commands to the driving mechanism 35 to make the gate 34 fall so as to increase the amount of the overflowed product 10a. When the detected level is higher than the specified level, the gate 34 is made to rise so as to decrease the amount of the overflowed product 10a.
