METHOD FOR SHAPING AND COOLING MELTED CHEESE WHICH IS INITIALLY HOT AND THEREFORE FLOWABLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for shaping and cooling melted cheese (1) which is initially hot and therefore flowable, and which is applied to a moved metallic cooling strip (3') by means of a supply spout. Individual shaped products (6) are shaped from the melted cheese (1) by a shaping roller (5) which has shaping cavities (7) located in the surface and which impinges on said cooling strip (3'). During shaping, the shaping roller (5) exerts a contact pressure on the cooling strip (3') and this causes the melted cheese (1), which is still hot, to be fully displaced out of the region of the separating dividers (8) that delimit the individual shaping cavities (7) and lie against the cooling strip (3'). The shaped products (6) are released from the shaping cavities (7) and left on the moved cooling strip (3') to cool.
