METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING MOULDED CHEESE BLOCKS |
摘要 |
A curd and whey mixture is drained of loose whey on a conveyor and the dry curd fed into the top of a tubular perforated column (4) maintained under sub-atmospheric pressure to form a pillar of curd. A mass of curd severed from the lower end of the pillar is deposited in a mould (14) mounted on a turntable (13) rotatable to index the mould in succession at six pressing stations at each of which the curd is compressed for 45-120 seconds at a pressure of at least 4 bar in order to form a block of cheese with a rind firm enough to permit handling of the cheese block after ejection from the mould. At the first pressing station the curd is subjected to a sub-atmospheric pressure of -0.9 to -1.0 bar prior to compression. After the cheese block is ejected from the mould, the turntable returns the empty mould to the column for reception of another mass of curd. |
