<p>@ The machine continuously produces pasta filata cheese by stretching curds while adding hot water and then moulding the pasta filata obtained into cheese such as mozzarella, provolone, etc.</p><p>The curds are sprayed with hot water by nozzles (52, 55) and are pushed by twin augers (53) along a channel (54) into a vertical, substantially cylindrical stretching chamber (68) where a rotating stretching swift (74, 79) having radially projecting, arched paddles (79) stretches the curds into pasta filata against the reaction of a stationary, wall-mounted paddle (78). This spills over an overflow (72) onto other augers (57) that feed the pasta filata to moulding means.</p><p>The moulding means preferably comprise a rotating moulding drum (90) having surface cavities (99), against which pasta filata is pushed through apertures (94) in a distributor block (92). A piston mould (100) mounted on a slide (98) for reciprocating motion between a filling position and a delivery position is also preferably provided as an alternative.</p> |
