Abstract: A machine for removing strips laid out on the ground has a rotary reception unit for winding a strip at a distance from the ground to form a reel, and a driving unit for driving the reception unit for rotation. A drum is mounted so as to rotate. The strip passes over the drum before reaching the reception unit. Rotary brushes are arranged in such a way that the strip passes between the brushes and the drum so that the strip is brushed and the material from the ground accumulated on the strip is removed therefrom. The brushes are provided with a device for driving the brushes for rotation.
