Abstract
A machine for the removal of foliage from root crops, especially sugar beets. The machine has a frame with a shaft which is rotatable in the longitudinal direction of the machine and carries at its forward end a stripping wheel rotatably mounted in a forwardly open casing and having wings of propeller blade-like pitch, for removing the foliage and carrying it away by means of an air stream generated by the wings. Attached to the machine frame behind the casing, is a vertically adjustable knife for severing the crown of the root crop, and immediately behind the knife there is attached to the rearward end of the shaft a cleaning and conveying wheel for cleaning the knife and carrying away any plant residues obstructing the function of the knife.
