The invention concerns a method and a novel equipment therefor, for filling cheese containers, such as boxes or kegs, inside a vacuum chamber so as to eliminate the need to remove air trapped in the interstices of the cheese content following the filling of containers. The invention is characterised in that it consists in: introducing the containers to be filled into a vacuum chamber; introducing the cheese in the vacuum chamber by means of a cyclone and/or a column via a cheese airlock; filling the container with the cheese thus introduced; weighing, compacting and pressing the cheese in the containers inside the vacuum chamber; removing the filled containers from the vacuum chamber, closing and storing them. Preferably, the containers to be filled are introduced into and removed from the vacuum chamber by means of a conveyor passing through an intake pre-chamber and an outlet pre-chamber acting as airlock so as to permanently maintain a vacuum in the chamber. |
