To provide a processing apparatus which performs the optimum treatment corresponding to the change in the viscoelastic characteristics of a substance to be treated by external action.
A sensor part 30 is arranged in close contact with a delay member 32 to emit an incident sonic wave to the inside of a kneading container 40 through the delay member 32 corresponding to the radiation order from a measuring control part 1. This sensor part 30 receives the reflected sonic wave produced when the incident sonic wave is reflected from the boundary of the substance 48 to be treated and the delay member 32 and outputs its time waveform to the measuring control part 1. The measuring control part 1 is constituted so as to measure the viscoelastic characteristics of the substance 48 to be treated on the basis of the time waveform of the reflected sonic wave received in the sensor part 30. Further, the measuring control part 1 controls the operation order applied to a motor 44 on the basis of the measured viscoelastic characteristics of the substance 48 to be treated.
