After the measurement is completed, if the data is qualified, the second pump body is started to transfer the jam from the discharge port 201 to the next-level storage tank. If it is unqualified, the material is discharged from the sewage outlet 202 to the transfer barrel for recycling and re-production. After the device is used, the water in the cleaning tank 3 can be pumped into the spray unit through the water pump 12. The water flows out of the spray unit to clean the inside of the barrel body 2, and the waste water after cleaning can be discharged from the sewage outlet 202.
