Abstract
The invention concerns a device for the perpendicular change in the direction of travel of a food, in particular, cheese, sausage and such in slice form, whereby the food is transferred in conjunction with a 90.degree. rotation via a conveyor device onto a conveyor belt perpendicular thereto. The device features a supply belt in the direction of travel which places the food as a single slice onto a reorientation device whereby the reorientation device has a first and a second lift position and whereby the first raised lift position of the first variant or the first lowered lift position of the second variant conveys the individual slice in a longitudinal direction in a conveyor device in the original direction of travel whereas in the second lowered lift position of the first variant or the second raised lift position of the second variant another displaced conveyor device engages the individual slice and transfers it onto a transfer belt.
