As shown, at the initial stage of loading the steel balls into the tank, the blocking rod 6 is inserted into the fixed ring 7 to block the steel balls in the material tank 1 from rolling outwards from the discharge port 101, and the filter screen 2 preliminarily filters the cleaning liquid carried by the steel balls stacked in the material tank 1, and part of the cleaning liquid also enters the guide pipe 3 and is drained through the drainage structure. After preliminary filtration, the blocking rod 6 is pulled out, and the steel balls in the material tank 1 are sequentially output from the discharge port 101 into the guide pipe 3, and during the rolling and moving process in the guide pipe 3, the steel balls are subjected to drying operation by the drying box 4.
