摘要

The cutter is intended for dividing set milk (curds) into pieces by rotating it in the cylindrical vessel containing the curds whilst it revolves about its own axis. It comprises a (rectangular) frame carrying at least one set of parallel cutting blades at least approximately parallel to the rotational axes. The frame may contain three superimposed blade sets separated by cross-members of the frame and the respective blade spacings may be different, preferably increasing in downward direction. The blades pref. consist of, e.g. 15 mm wide, steel strips with cutting edges. USE/ADVANTAGE - One of a number of such cutters revolvingly rotating the (heatable) vessel. The cutter produces a minimum amt. of fine (fusty) material which would be lost in the whey.
