Abstract

Provided is an easy and clean processing machine. The processing machine includes a processing chamber having a discharge port; a tank having an inflow port with a gap from the discharge port; a drawer to be stowed in the processing chamber and pulled out rearward from the processing chamber, the drawer including a front plate, a pair of side plates, and a bottom plate including a filter disposed in a front portion, a guide including a stopper; and a slider including a latch portion to collide with the stopper to stop the drawer at an intermediate position. The discharge port is located above the bottom plate, and the filter is located above the inflow port when the drawer is located at the intermediate position.

Claims (79)

1. A processing machine, comprising:

a processing chamber having a discharge port facing downwardly;
