Process and machine for conveying a flow of harvested crop

A harvesting machine comprising

• a harvesting unit,
• at least one crop processing unit for processing a crop harvested by the harvesting unit, and
• a device for conveying a flow of harvested crop between the units, the device comprising a first conveyor configured to convey the flow along a first direction to a downstream end of the first conveyor and a second conveyor arranged downstream of the downstream end and which is configured to convey the flow along a second direction different from the first direction, wherein the device is configured for operating the first conveyor at a variable conveyor speed presenting a cycle of acceleration and deceleration, the cycle being operable to ensure a spatial repartition of the flow of harvested crop on the second conveyor, which receives the flow at a location that is variable according to the first direction,
• wherein the first conveyor extends along a first direction which is perpendicular to a moving direction of the machine, and the second conveyor extends along a second direction which is parallel to the moving direction.
