DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CHEESE BALLS OR MASSES FROM SPUN PASTE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for producing cheese balls from spun paste, formed by: a feed channel for supplying a strip of spun paste; a guide hopper having a larger end that is connected to the feed channel and a smaller end that vertically aligns the spun paste strip; a winding clamp connected to the shaft of a first horizontal motor and including a hole that is vertically aligned with the smaller end of the hopper, one end of the spun paste strip being hooked in said hole; and a shaft supporting element mounted on a base connected at one end to the first motor and at the other end to the shaft of a second vertical motor that transmits an angular reciprocating movement to the shaft supporting element on the vertical axis thereof, between 0° and 360°. The spun paste strip is made into a ball by means of the combined angular movements of the clamp and the shaft supporting element.
