To develope the soybean sprouting equipment(a type of cabinet) for medium amount(one bucket; 10~13kg) production of soybean sprouts, the watering system was made of four siphons and four the bottle necked water tank. Diameter of four siphons used for development of the watering system were 8, 13, 17 and 21mm, respectively and their water exhausting volumes were 40, 92, 154, 524ml/sec, respectively. The watering system can be automatically watered 524ml/sec without electric supply. The soybean sprouting equipment is consisted of four the bottle necked water tanks with the four siphons and six sprouting buckets with net shaped bottom for water draining. The soybean sprouting equipment with the watering system may be produced more than one box a day in the condition of 6~7 watering times a day at 25~30oC.

The new watering system for the cabinet type of soybean sprouting equipment was developed. It was made of one siphon $({\Phi}35 mm)$, one well bucket $(13{\times}10{\times}10\;cm)$ that its weight-center is changed by water level, and bottle-neck water tank (bottom: $18.5^W{\times}32^L{\times}29^H\;cm$, top: $14^W{\times}14^L{\times}25^H\;cm)$. The watering system can be automatically watered more than 750 mL/sec without electric supply. The soybean sprouting equipment is consisted of the watering system and nine sprouting buckets. In addition siphon phenomena brought about easily by narrowing same as bottle-neck shape top portion of water tank that inserted a siphon. The equipment with the watering system may be produced more than three box a day in the condition of $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, and $6{\sim}7$ watering times a day.
