ABSTRACT:
A carrot processing machine having an accumulation well, an elevating conveyor (16), and sensing means (18, 20, 22, 24). Carrots are delivered into the well by a delivery conveyor and a constant head of carrots maintained by signals derived from a height sensing means controlling the delivery conveyor. The elevating conveyor (16) is provided with a series of pockets (28, 30, 32, 34) into which the carrots are urged by vibration of the well. Cutting blades (124, 126, 128, 130) are provided further along the conveyor for topping and tailing the carrots and segmenting them into short lengths. Endwise movement of the carrots (in their pockets) is achieved by engagement between transversely extending endless belts and the carrots in the conveyor pockets or by tilting the conveyor.
