By adopting this structure, the slide plates 301 on both sides of the scoring screen frame 3 can be extended by the length of the C-shaped plate 301. The slide plate 303 is located at the lower side of the C-shaped plate 301, and the ends of the two slide plates 303 are respectively overlapped on one side of the conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the second conveyor belt unit 2. At the same time, due to the height difference between the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the second conveyor belt unit 2, the C-shaped plate 301 of the sub-screening frame 3 is in an inclined state, which is convenient for popcorn to pass through the sieve hole 302 from the high conveyor belt under its own weight and finally enter the low conveyor belt. The vibrator 8 can prevent popcorn from accumulating at the sieve hole. After passing through the sieve hole 302, the popcorn enters the storage bag at the lower side of the sub-screening frame 3, which is convenient for the staff to carry out subsequent processing. The telescopic support unit 4 can ensure that there is a suitable height difference between it and the first conveyor belt 1 during installation, so as to meet the changing needs of the production environment, improve space utilization, and make later maintenance more convenient.
