<p>The machine for straightening vegetables or salad plants (1) comprises two parallel conveyor belts (3, 5) arranged side-by-side. One of these is driven at a higher speed than the other so that the plants are rotated about an axis passing through their head and roots.

Independent claims are included for: (a) a harvester incorporating a machine as described above; (b) a method for straightening vegetables or salad plants using the machine; and (c) a method for harvesting vegetables or salad plants using a harvester incorporating the straightening machine.</p> |
