Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus which can be utilized for the quality inspection of fish fillets and enables the detection of faulty spots resulting from processing deficiencies, such as skin or fin remainders, blood spots, bones, as well as from parasites and others. To this end, fillets are guided to a light emitter by means of a conveyor belt which is made from a material which allows light to pass at low absorption. The light emitter comprises light sources which are arranged out of direct sight by means of screens. Due to its characteristic to allow light to pass by dispersion, the fillet will appear illuminated in darker surroundings.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for transferring pieces or object of soft consistency, in particular fillets of fish, from a conveyance in their longitudinal direction into a conveyance in transversal direction and aims to solve the task to convey the fillets further in a stretched position lying side by side. For solving this task, a braking device is used in the region of the transitional position between a feeder and a delivering conveyor, which braking device comprises a driven conveyor whose lower run faces the conveying surface of the delivering conveyor leaving a gap thereto and is driven to rotate endlessly in the direction of movement of the conveying surface and essentially at the speed thereof.
