PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable efficient and light labor to separate root vegetables. SOLUTION: A root vegetable separator 1 of the present invention includes a conveying device 5 that conveys a lump of root vegetable R to the rear, and the conveyed lump of root vegetable R is received from the front side and separated into individual root vegetables R. The fuselage 2 is equipped with a separating device 6 that sends the rearward side. The separation device 6 has a cylindrical drum 21 that is driven to rotate about a drum support shaft 36 that extends obliquely downward and to the rear, and extends substantially parallel to the drum support shaft 36 at one location on the inner peripheral surface of the drum 21. And a partition plate 37 which is formed upright and has a height equal to or smaller than the radius of the drum 36. The body 2 is configured so that the tilt angle in the front-back direction can be adjusted. [Selection diagram]【課題】 能率良く軽労で根菜類の分離ができるようにする。【解決手段】 本発明の根菜類分離機１は、根菜類Ｒの塊を後方へ搬送する搬送装置５と、該搬送された根菜類Ｒの塊を前側から受け入れて個別の根菜類Ｒに分離し後ろ側へ送出する分離装置６とが機体２に装備されている。前記分離装置６は、後ろ斜め下方へ延びるドラム支持軸３６を中心に回転駆動される円筒状のドラム２１と、該ドラム２１の内周面における一箇所に前記ドラム支持軸３６と略平行に延びるように立設され且つ該ドラム３６の半径以下の高さに形成された仕切板３７とを備えている。前記機体２は前後方向への傾斜角度が調節可能に構成されている。【選択図】 図１
