Abstract

The invention relates to a device for cleaning root vegetables comprising at least two rollers (14) rotatably mounted about an axis (A) perpendicular to the direction of travel of the root vegetables on the rollers (14), characterized in that at least one of the rollers (14) is equipped with a means for heating its outer wall (16). Thus, with the outer wall of the roller (14) being heated, this has the effect of drying the soil that is possibly stuck thereon. This drying is enough to make the soil crisp and to overcome the suction phenomenon of the wet soil on the roller (14) and on the reliefs of the roller (14). The vibrations due to the displacement of the vegetables on the rollers ensure that the soil thus dried is detached and cause it to fall to the ground.
