This machine can be fitted to potato harvesters. It allows the recovery of the plastic film at the same time as the potato harvest. This versatile tool can also be mounted on a 3-point beam at the front or rear of a tractor, trailer or other machine. It is composed of 2 double-conical mandrels driven by a motor and a speed regulator, the whole being flanged on the outside of the mandrels. The body of the rewinder can be rotated, so that the bale can be released manually outside the working area if necessary. The width of the plastic films to be recovered should not exceed 1m20
