The machine for emptying crates filled with loose material, for example fruit, vegetables or the like, has a rotary drum (1), into which are incorporated four identical holding devices serving for receiving crates (9). The drum rotates intermittently, so that the crates are brought into the four positions, specifically Position I Reception of the full crate from the conveyor band (11) the crate bearing against the axially extending sidewall (4) and against the obliquely extending sidewall (5) and being closed by means of the lid (6). Position II Tilting of the crate through 90 DEG into a position on its side. Position III Tilting of the crate into a position on its back. Careful emptying is obtained by lowering the lid (6). Position IV Tilting of the empty crate into a position on its side and ejection via the chute (5, 14). <IMAGE>
