Abstract:
1. A soil plug processing mechanism for processing soil plugs which occur during ground maintenance, the soil plug processing mechanism comprising: a separating device configured to perform processing of the soil plugs by separating the soil plug material into fine particles and coarse particles, the separating device including at least one rotatable rotary sieve which has a rotatingly driveable sieve drum with an outside surface which is realized at least partially as a sieve area; a plug picking up device configured to pick up the soil plugs and generate air which conveys the soil plugs and discharges the soil plugs into the separating device; and a coarse particle container moveably coupled with respect to the separating device and being configured to move under control of the soil plug processing mechanism between a coarse particle receiving position at which the coarse particle container is arranged to receive the coarse particles separated by the separating device and a coarse particle dispensing position at which the coarse particle container is positioned to dispense the coarse particles contained in the coarse particle container out of the soil plug processing mechanism.
