Abstract: A deflecting device for an elongate item, wherein the deflecting device has a receiving region, and wherein the receiving region is designed to receive the elongate item in cross transport on the input side and to discharge the elongate item in longitudinal transport on the output side. The deflecting device includes at least two belt-type conveyors in the longitudinal transport direction which are arranged at an angle relative to one another, wherein the at least two belt-type conveyors span the receiving region when the deflecting device is in an operating state.

Abstract: A conveying system for longitudinally transporting elongate items, including a circulating traction belt and a supporting structure for the circulating traction belt, wherein a plurality of supports are connected by means of at least one traction element to form the circulating traction belt, wherein each of the supports comprises an indentation for supporting the elongate item. Each of the supports is fastened at at least two spaced-apart fastening points to the at least one traction element and the circulating traction belt is mounted, at least in a conveying region of the conveying system, by rollers so as to be movable with respect to the supporting structure.

Abstract: Filter for use in the processing of pasty foods, especially in cheese spread production, having a closed housing (12) with a feed inlet (16) for the product to be filtered, a drain (20) for the filtered product, an output for the filtered-out residue, and a filter insert (14) that is located between the feed inlet (16) and drain (20) with a cylindrical filter wall through which the product flows in the radial direction from the inside to the outside, whereby a pivotable core element (30) is provided that is located coaxially in the filter insert (14), whereby between the core element (14) and the filter wall a defined annulus (36) is formed, the core element (30) being dimensioned in such a way that the annulus (36) that forms enables a constant flow of the product, and on the outer periphery of the core element (30) there being at least one scraper (38) that scrapes on the inner surface of the filter wall as the core element (30) turns for removing the residue.
