An apparatus for conveying root crops is provided. The apparatus includes a carrying device which circulates in a circulation direction during operation. The carrying device partly forms at least one receiving region and carries the root crops. At least one transverse separating device extends at least partially in a transverse direction. This delimits the receiving region in the circulation direction. From the outside, the receiving region adjoins an interior space which extends inside an interior space surface. The interior space surface extends parallel to the transverse direction and in side view runs exclusively in the circulation direction. At least one protruding part of the transverse separating device is arranged, in side view, outside the interior space.

A conveying device is provided for an upwardly oriented, in particular vertical, conveyance of turnips or other root crops in harvesting machines. A conveyor belt with at least two lateral conveyor belt portions is moved in a conveying direction during operation. Between the conveyor belt portions is defined a particularly planar conveyor belt surface, and at least one carrier unit which projects from the conveyor belt surface and is supported by the conveyor belt. The carrier unit delimits a receiving space extending on both sides of the conveyor belt surface. The part of the receiving space which is arranged on the side of the conveyor belt surface which is opposite the carrier unit is formed by at least one detachably fastened pocket module and harvesting machines for turnips or other root crops having a conveying device.

A feederhouse conveyor system for an agricultural harvesting machine is provided. The feederhouse conveyor system includes a power transmitting system. The power transmitting system includes first rollers, second rollers, and power transmitting bands. The power transmitting bands are configured to each transmit power between each of the first rollers and the second rollers. The feederhouse conveyor system also includes rigid cross members, configured to each attach near each end to at least one of the power transmitting bands, and flexible cross members configured to each attach near each end to at least one of the power transmitting bands. The centerlines which extend through the rigid cross members and the flexible cross members are parallel. The mat attaches to the flexible cross members by a pocket in the mat through which the flexible cross members extend.

A rod belt for rod belt conveyors of agricultural machinery, having rods situated transversely with respect to the running direction and in parallel to one another, the rods having flattened, perforated fastening areas with which they rest on tensile stress-resistant, continuous elastic belts revolving in parallel to one another, and are connected to the belts by rivets or similar fasteners which pass through the fastening areas and the belts. Thus, a rod belt is provided for rod belt conveying, which allows fastening of functional elements while avoiding the disadvantages stated for the prior art. This is achieved in that in the installed state of the rods, the fastening areas protrude beyond the inner edges of the belts with an overhang area, and have at least one hole in the overhang area for fastening a functional element of the rod belt.
