can be directed to a turntable / intersection

Assuming there are normally two furnaces (A and B) and two washers (C and D) each joined by a parallel conveyor belt like this

A ---> C
B----> D

And washer D break down, then maybe A and B could be linked by a turntable so that all the output from the two ovens would go to C

A --------]
B---------]--------C

typo: über Kreuz

the lines can be swapped
just a guess: if the two lines are running parallelly (strange word..) and a problem occurs in one of them, the production process can be switched over to the other one (i.e.to the remaining Wäscher)
