摘要

Sorting device for irregularly-shaped objects, particularly potatoes, comprises at least one first roller for impelling objects forward. At least this first roller has an axial extent from an application component over a number of collecting components and includes a thread. The thread has an increasing pitch and an increasing depth from the application component, so that a hole is formed with increasing diameter in the thread track. The objects are guided downwards. They drop downwards through the thread track to reach a collection component beneath the roller.
