Abstract: A processing machine for processing fiber plants includes a self-propelling vehicle including a vehicle chassis and a processing unit mounted on the vehicle chassis. The processing unit has a transport installation for transporting the fiber plants to the self-propelling vehicle. The transport installation includes a number of guide rollers mounted on the support frame, at least one pair of endless conveyor belts guided along the rollers and at least one drive for driving at least a part of the guide rollers. The guide rollers include a group of at least two pressing rollers which are configured to press against a first side of a conveyor belt at two or more positions. The transport installation further includes a support member on which the pressing rollers are arranged rotatably and in which the support member is mounted on the support frame rotatably relative to an imaginary rotation point.
