Abstract: An internal-gear pump has a housing which has a first fluid port and a second fluid port. An inner rotor is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable about an inner rotor axis and has an external toothing. An outer rotor is rotatable in the housing about an outer rotor axis and has an internal toothing which, to generate a pump action, engages with the external toothing of the inner rotor. The internal-gear pump furthermore has a ring element which is mounted movably in the housing so as to be pivotable between a first position and a second position. At least a third fluid port is formed on the housing. The third fluid port is arranged relative to the ring element such that, in the first position of the ring element, the third fluid port is connected to the second fluid port. In the second position, said third fluid port is separated from the second fluid port.

Abstract: An apparatus for the automatic preparation of portions of a plurality of food products of different types comprises a conveying device which is configured to convey at least one product carrier from a product slice placement zone of a first cutting apparatus in which a part portion of at least one product slice of a first type is formed on the product carrier to a product slice placement zone of a second cutting apparatus in which a part portion of at least one product slice of a second type is formed on the product carrier which, together with the first portion, forms a desired total portion no longer to be complemented or a part portion still to be complemented by means of a further cutting apparatus.
