CONVEYOR FOR ROOT VEGETABLES

PURPOSE:To surely prevent root vegetables from dropping in the course of conveying by strongly nipping mutually opposite inner revolution parts of a pair of specific endless belts nipping the root vegetables with tension rollers from both sides. CONSTITUTION:A pair of endless belts 25 and 26 of nearly circular cross section are engaged and revolved with annular recessed parts 33 of circular arc cross section formed in respective front and rear pulleys 23 and 24 and annular recessed parts of circular arc cross section formed in tension rollers 30 in the intermediate parts of the inner revolving parts 27 and 28. The belts in a mutually adjacent state are stably transferred to the inside in the same direction in the respective inner revolving part. The mutually opposite inner revolving parts in the pair of the endless belts 25 and 26 nipping root vegetables are strongly nipped with the tension rollers from both sides. Thereby, the inner revolving parts opposite through the root vegetables are kept in a slightly elastic deformed state and the root vegetables are surely nipped with the mutual opposite inner revolving parts and transferred.
