PEELING/ROLLING MACHINE FOR MULCH FILM AND PEELING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a peeling/rolling machine for a mulch film that permits both operations for peeling up the mulch film that is used for covering the ridges and for drying the peeled-up mulch film and rolling up the dried mulch film by using one unit of the machine. SOLUTION: In this machine, the mulch film F is rolled up around a winding drum that is rotary-driven with a drive motor 15 set on a truck 14. A plurality of the drums are arranged around a plurality of winding arms adjacently in the circumferential direction. When the mulch film F is rolled up, the diameter of the winding drum is expanded and, after completion of the winding, the diameter is shrunk and the film rolled around the drum is pulled out in the shaft-line direction. In this case, a cover is provided to cover spaces formed between each adjacent film-winding arm and press-contacting rollers 27, 29 are provided to be pressed to the outer periphery of the cover, and the mulch film F is nipped in a gap between the cover and the press-contacting rollers 27, 29 and sent out, thus the mulch film F peeling work is performed.
