The rotary drum further including an oblong scraping device which is arranged between the mounting device and said rotary bearing. Since the scraping device is mounted on the mounting device, it is able to carry out a pendulum motion in at least one direction, but unable to turn about itself, and the end of the scraping device on the side of the rotary bearing is connected to the rotary bearing in such a way that it is able to carry out a pendulum motion in at least one direction.
