Whey or Water separating device for manufacture

of cheese

The present invention relates to a whey bezw. Water separator for making cheese.

Cylindrical devices for separating the whey and washing out the curd are already known, but they are these are rotating cylinders. This either develops a more or less strong centrifugal force respectively. the force of gravity acts, which causes the material to roll off the drum wall and thus to a relatively firm caking of the broken grain, which leads to difficulties in the further cheese production.

According to the invention, this disadvantage is eliminated, that in an upright cylindrical vessel with an intermediate floor, preferably partially designed as a sieve, an agitator with a plurality of stationary or self-rotating stirring devices and that preferably the non-perforated Part of the intermediate floor can be removed for periodic emptying.

An advantage of the whey or whey according to the invention. Water separator is still in the fact that you can both curd with warm; finally also with cold water, depending on the requirements can wash. This means that the acidification can be stopped at will, depending on the type of box desired. Of the With the help of this separation device, the fraction drained can then be salted in the device itself, either with common salt alone or with common salt in a mixture can be done with phosphates, the broken grain easily growing together.

Since every type of cheese It. Cheese regulation has a fixed dry weight the cheese curd must have a corresponding target

have yield. This can now with the help of the invention Device in which either a weighing device is built in or which is coupled to a weighing device This can be adjusted directly by taking the whey deposit then prevented when the amount calculated from the protein titer including the liquid content by the display "der Weighing device is reached.

In addition, this device enables continuous removal the contents of the container.

The device should be described in more detail using the accompanying drawings explained:

Fig. 1 shows the front view of the Molkenbezw according to the invention. Water separator.

Fig. 2 shows the plan view.

Fig. 3 shows a plan view of an embodiment for the Planetary drive, one gear ring being attached to the inner wall of the container.

The whey or Water separator consists of a cylindrical vessel 1 with a flat, sloping down to an outlet Well-crafted bottom and with removable or hinged lids.

The vessel 1 stands with three or more feet to the continuous Weight display of the content either on a scale or a weighing device 15 is built into one or more feet. In the vessel 1 itself, a one or more divided, removable sieve bottom 2 is arranged, which is on one of the container inner wall welded support ring and welded onto a filling body 6 located in the middle of the vessel Support ring rests loosely or is screwed. Sin bending of the sieve bottom 2 is caused by corresponding stiffeners, the are arranged between the support rings, prevents.

With the help of the filling body 6 in the middle of the vessel it is avoided that cheese mass gets into a dead zone in which. they are not or only imperfectly circulated, loosened or. is drained. . .

There is also a slowly rotating one in the vessel 1 Agitator 3 · The agitator drive is mounted on a crossbeam which is mounted on the upper edge of the container. A sealing head for fluid connection is provided in the agitator mounting. The agitator shaft has two or more permanently mounted or flanged agitator arms 10. Circulating, loosening and mixing devices 4, 12 are arranged on the agitator arms 10. These Devices are either fixed or rotatable. The rotatable devices 4 have their own drive or are via a Corresponding translation from the agitator drive into rotary motion offset or are offset by a ring gear, which is arranged on a fixed ring gear 13 or around the filling body 6 a ring gear 13a fixed on the inner wall of the container, set in rotation. The rotating mixers 4 am The end of one or more stirring arms 10 move the curd and turn it over.

To the cheese mass, which from the agitators by centrifugal force to the Outside and inside wall of the drainage space of the apparatus is to be transported back into the middle zone, have further agitator arms 10 of the agitator 3 corresponding plowshares and rake 12. The agitator shaft and agitator arms 10 are hollow. Depending on the purpose, the stirring, circulating and mixing devices 4, 12 can also be made hollow, these being provided with spray nozzles 9 on the lower part.

From the sealing head in the agitator bearing, agitator shaft, Mixing arms * .O as well as circulating, loosening and mixing devices 4, 12 be flowed through with liquid. By means of the spray nozzles 9 in the agitators 4, 12 is during or after the dehydration or. Mixing process, the spraying of the sieve bottom 2 possible, ur. such a Avoid clogging the sieve holes.
