摘要

The machine consists of a frame (1) with at least one rotary plate (2) to support the cheeses while they are being turned beneath a treatment assembly with brushes (16) and moisturizers (13) connected to a tank (12). The cheese are held in place on the plates by radially-moving jaws (4) actuated by spiral slots in discs (6) beneath the plates when they are rotated by motor and reduction gear units (11). The jaws are released by the inertia of the rotating cheese when the motor stops.
