<p>The hardening vat comprises an elongated vat (10) for water-filling up to a predetermined level, with cheese loading means (14, 16, 18) at one end of the vat, and withdrawal means (20, 22) at the opposite end. A flat grid (24) hanging from swinging supports (25-30) is arranged horizontally in the vat, and a pusher device (32-42) is mounted in the vat for pushing the grid longitudinally at first, low speed, and for allowing the grid to fall back to its initial position under the action of gravity, at a second, higher speed.</p> |
