Abstract: A product inverting and diversion system for selectively inverting, diverting or skipping various types of products transported upon a high-speed conveyor system. The inventive device includes a frame, a pair of side members, a pair of first shafts and a pair of second shafts rotatably attached between the side members, a first belt and a second belt respectively positioned about the first shafts and second shafts defining a passageway between thereof, a pivot shaft attached to one of the side members, a drive shaft rotatably attached to one of the side members opposite of the pivot shaft, a drive belt connected between the drive shaft and a drive motor, and a pivot belt connected between the pivot shaft and a servo motor. A secondary belt is connected between the drive shaft and the first shafts and second shafts.

Abstract: A filter has a plurality of cylindrical filter elements (5) supported exteriorly over holes (4) in a hollow filter cage (3). A backwash pipe (11) is disposed axially of the filter cage (3) and has ducts (12) which are arranged, on rotation of the backwash pipe, to register with the holes (4) in the filter cage (3) to allow backwashing of the filter elements. The filter cage (3) has retaining portions (7) in the form of a T-slot or spaced abutments. The filter elements (5) each have a circumferential flange (8) provided with at least one flat (9) so that, in a first angular orientation of a filter element (5) the filter element is held firmly by engagement of the flange (8) under the retaining portions (7) and, in a second angular orientation, it is free for removal.
