Automated brine system with a carousel for cooling cheese

摘要

An apparatus has a tank with a vertical carousel holding blocks of cheese. The carousel moves in a closed path which submerges and flips over the blocks of cheese in a chilled brine solution contained in the tank. The movement of the carrousel ensures that the cheese is cooled uniformly without deformation. While the cheese block are held in the carrousel a fluid circulation system forces chilled brine through the tank.
