A load of dirty shellfish which are arranged in an unordered fashion one above the other and one next to the other is brushed with simultaneous rinsing by a moved brush arrangement, which is pressed against the said load, with simultaneous rinsing using water. This process causes the individual shellfish to be revolved in such a way that they also clean one another by means of mutual abrasion. In ...

The end (E) of a thread running from a spool (4) can be tied to the starting end of a thread on a supply spool (1) during the dead time of a thread magazine (10), if the starting end of the thread is prearranged so that when the thread is about to run out the starting end is tied to the end (E) of the running-out thread by a knot or splice.
