The mechanism is intended for cutting leeks to a given length and cleaning them. It comprises transport means (parallel endless belts) to move successive leeks in vertical position with the root ends uppermost whilst rotating them, (rotary) cutters to top the leeks, and water spray jets directed at the cut leeks. One of the belts is preferably pressurised in the direction towards the other by spring-loaded rollers whilst the belts are driven at speeds differing by 10-15% to produce rotation of the leeks. Cutting length is preferably determined by a vertically adjustable stop arranged over the entry side of the belts.
