In a method of washing and peeling roots rich in starch for the manufacture or starch, use is made of a drum (1), which has a perforated jacket and is provided with internal entraining means (26). The roots (27) are placed in the drum (1), which is rotated about its longitudinal axis. The roots (27) are made to rub against each other with the aid of the entraining means (26) while at the same time water is poured over them during rotation of the drum (1). The drum (1) has at least at one of its ends an end portion (3) which has a smaller diameter than the rest of the drum. |
