at least two adjacent roller groups, each of which have at least two rollers, which each rotate about a respective axis of rotation and of which the axes of rotation form a roller group plane,
an adjusting device, which is provided with at least one adjusting means,
wherein at least the rollers of at least one roller group are mounted, on one side, in at least one side part which interacts with the at least one adjusting means, such that actuation of the adjusting means can give rise to movement of the roller group plane relative to a frame in which the root crop conveyor can be arranged,
