<p>A machine for applying a coating to cheeses has a conveyor (10) conveying each cheese (12) to a processing position below nozzles (13), which spray material down onto the surface of the cheese. In this position, a rotatable disc (53) lifts the cheese clear of the conveyor upwardly to engage a spring-loaded, horizontally disposed roll (32), which is reciprocated over the cheese by a pneumatic cylinder (23), while said cheese is rotated by the rotary disc. Further, a vertical side roll (51) is placed on each side of the conveyor, and this side roll can be caused to resiliently engage the lateral edge face of the cheese by a cylinder (41). This fully automatically operating structure practically eliminates waste of coating material, which is particularly important when relatively expensive plastics is used as the coating material.</p> |
