The stirring roller includes a sleeve shaft and a plurality of elliptic stirring blades arranged at regular intervals along the axial direction of the sleeve shaft. Each stirring blade is inclined at 45 degrees to the axis of the stirring roller. Two pairs of adjacent stirring blades located individually on both end portions of the sleeve shaft are each provided with a cut portion. The respective cut portions of each end pair of blades are located diametrically opposite to each other.
