Apparatus and method for distributing a curd containing liquid

The present invention relates to a device for distributing a liquid containing cheese curd into a plurality of vessels (in particular in the course of the method according to Swiss patent application No. 19 356/70)

It also relates to a method for operating the

Embodiment a liquid containing cheese curd in a number of perforated, below liquid »tight sealed and in a liquid-tight jacket arranged pipes is filled and processed with regulated removal of the liquid *

Treating the cheese curd as gently as possible is of relatively great importance because the grain size of this curd is of considerable importance for the quality of the cheese been proposed, by a in Fig _3H the ge "= called application as 3pinne 3 designated manifold device cheese curd together with liquid fill simultaneously in a plurality of tubes, with sometimes hineicht · * lent of Regelmässigfceit distribution problems arose _c Further, have the swirl and turbulence, , which arose in the spider and in the pipes, also led to a grain size of the cheese that was not quite as desired.

The object of the invention is to create a distribution device of the type mentioned above, which as automatically as possible for a regular, gentle distribution of the

If, on the other hand, one measured far too little liquid _C , the operation would be only - = borrowed slower _P but therefore possibly unrational The above mentioned measure should advantageously mean that the upper section of the distributor pipes should be further than the following section, so that the liquid flows into each distributor pipe favorably ensures the regular flow in the narrower part and prevents the creation of unnecessary turbulence and air ingestion

The upper end of the distributor pipes is advantageously arranged at a certain distance from the overflow edge of the riser pipe and connected to the outer casing of the riser pipe by an approximately conical surface in such a way that the liquid from the riser pipe reaches this annular distributor surface via its upper edge and from here into the Distribution pipes flow. It is particularly advantageous if ribs running like a ray are provided on this distributor surface, between which there are channels _P Each channel is intended to form a distributor pipe

Because these channels are getting wider and wider because of the radiant running of the ribs, they ensure that the liquid that originally preferably overflowed in a closed ring shape is divided into circular streams,. Gravity also accelerates the flow of the liquid on the preferably inclined distribution surface _s so that this, too, favored the division of the initially closed liquid flow into single creams

The invention is to be described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, for example.

The distribution device has the riser pipe 1, which is an essentially misshapen pipe, the thinner branch 10 of which has a horizontal overflow edge 11 which is lower than the inlet flange 13 ^{which is bent laterally on the thinner branch 12 and has a valve t3 9} Hose coupling 14 for connection to the type Qj.ne Leitttng, which on a "?".

A liquid introduced into the riser tube 11 (containing cheese curds) will flow more slowly in the thicker part 10 than in the thinner part H2, whereby a calming occurs, so that the liquid (as indicated by dashed lines in lig «2) overflows nicely at ti and so on the distribution surface 2 arrives, which is divided into channels 22 by ribs 21 »Die Hinnen. 22 open into the thicker ends 3Ü of the distributor pipes 3 «The distributor pipes 3 have a thinner section 32 ° after these thicker ends open out ₆
