Abstract
A device for producing a root rope includes a transport path for suspending a carrier line thereabove, root material being deposited on the carrier line. A winding apparatus receives the carrier line and also receives at least one wrapping material. The winding apparatus uses a winding motion to wrap the wrapping material around the root material and carrier line, securing the root material to the carrier line and creating the 'root rope.' A reel receives the root rope from the winding apparatus, the reel using a rotating motion to wrap the root rope around the reel.
