PURPOSE:To remove the root hair, mud, etc. attached to a root crop, continuously, safely, in high efficiency, by rotating and transferring the root crop slopewise downward by the rotary brush of the slantly mounted machine, and treating the crop with rotary wire edge. CONSTITUTION:A pair of rotary brushes 2, 2 (rotating to the same direction by the motor 5, the reduction unit 10 and the belt) are attached to the main body 1 of the slantly mounted machine for the automatic and continuous cutting of root hair. The crop to be treated is supplied to the upper right end of the brush 2, and transferred slantly downward by its own weight rotating around its axis by the action of the rotary brushes 2, 2. In the course of transfer, the root hair, mud, etc. attached to the root crop is removed from the crop by the wire cutter 9 attached to the circumference of a rotary disk 7 which is driven by the motor 5, the endless belts 6, 6' and the pulley 4. The sign 3 is the shaft of the rotary disk and 8 represents the fixing hole of the wire cutter.
