Abstract: A harvester for potatoes, beets and other root crops has digging shares arranged in a leading position in the travel direction of the harvester. A screen conveyor receiving a harvested mix and conveying the harvested mix in a conveying direction opposite to the travel direction is provided. The screen conveyor has a screen conveyor belt and guide elements supporting laterally the screen conveyor belt. The screen conveyor belt has a upwardly facing conveying stretch and a leading return pulley proximal to the digging shares. The conveying stretch forms a screening zone that, at least in the area of the leading return pulley, is oriented so as to ascend in the conveying direction. The screen conveyor belt is adjustable to different conveying slants in the area of the conveying stretch.

Abstract: A harvester for potatoes, beets or similar root crops is in the form of a self-propelled or pulled bunker harvester. It has an intermediate or transfer bunker receiving harvested root crop after a cleaning phase. From the receiving space of the bunker, the root crop can be discharged by means of a conveying device that forms at least partially in the bunker a floor conveyer, has a lateral transfer module and can be oriented substantially transversely to the travel direction of the harvester. The conveying device interacts with a wall-type movable support structure at least in the area of a longitudinal side of the receiving space that is facing away from the lateral transfer module.
