Abstract: The invention relates to a camera body (CB) for still photography that comprises attachment facilities for a number of different accessories (ACC), which camera body further comprises a control unit for controlling functions in the camera body and in accessories attached to the camera body. The control unit communicates with the various accessories via a data bus, and, for at least one of the attachment facilities for accessories, in addition to the data bus, the camera body comprises separate means for communication (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for detecting accessories that are attached or removed, which means for communication can also be used by the control unit in the camera body to initiate a change in the system status of an attached accessory. The invention also relates to an accessory for such a camera body.

Abstract: A washing installation includes a first washer (3) for washing slices of root vegetable with water, a second washer in the form of a rotating pipe (4) supplied with water at an infeed end for the slices of root vegetable washed during slicing, and a third washer (20) with a foraminated conveyor (16) for an additional washing of the slices of root vegetable discharged from the pipe (4) and conveyance of the same to a hopper. On each side of an intermediate portion (7), the rotating pipe (4) has a portion (6, 8) with increased diameter. The intermediate portion (7) is perforated. A water inlet is arranged in the portion (8) with increased diameter after the intermediate portion (7) for replacing the washing water flowing out of the perforations of the intermediate portion (7).

Abstract: A deep-frying apparatus comprises an elongate deep-frying pan (1) having a plurality of bottom inlets (2-6) and bottom outlets (7-9) for frying oil, as well as a filter (13), a circulation pump (14) and a heat exchanger (11), which are connected in series from a first collection pipe (12), which is connected to the bottom outlets (7-9), to a second collection pipe (10), which is connected to the bottom inlets (2-6). At least one pair (18-20) of opposing lateral inlets is arranged in opposing side walls of the deep-frying pan (1) and provided opposite to one another in an area closest to an inlet end (16). At least two of the bottom inlets (2-6) are arranged in this area. Via a third collection pipe (24), the lateral inlets (18-20) are connected to the circulation pump (14), such that oil jets having a velocity of flow much exceeding that of the frying oil flowing in the longitudinal direction of the deep-frying pan are directed towards one another essentially transversely of this longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A method for the production of concentrated, frozen puree, especially potato puree, in which method the potatoes are first washed, peeled, cut into pieces, blanched, cooled and dewatered. The potatoes thus processed are then dried to reduce their weight by 40-60%, whereupon the potatoes are steamed and then mashed, frozen and crushed. By drying the potatoes before they are steamed, a final product of higher quality is obtained, while at the same time chemical additives, such as antioxidants, consistency agents etc., are rendered superfluous.
