Grooves 17 are formed at a plurality of locations on the outer periphery of the top plate 9. Reference numeral 18 denotes a movable frame, which has a perforated back plate 20 fixed to the back side of a perforated outer plate 19 having an arcuate shape in plan view, and an engaging member 21 having a T-shaped cross section fixed to the upper end thereof. ing. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, by fitting the engaging member 21 into the groove 17 of the top plate 9, the movable frame 1
8 is held on the top plate 9 in a suspended manner and movable in the radial direction of the top plate 9.

Further, a spring means 23 is interposed between the upper end of the movable frame 18 and a support plate 22 provided on the top plate 9, which always urges the movable frame 18 outward. Note that 24 is a protective member that covers the engagement member 21, is fixed to the top plate 9, and also serves as a stopper for regulating the outward position of the movable frame 18. A protective member 25 covers the spring means 23, and is fixed to an upper plate 26 extending inward from the upper end of the movable frame 18.

Next, the effect will be explained. Stack a predetermined number of cheeses 50 on each spindle 4 with spacers 51 in between, place a presser plate 52 on top of the top cheese 50, screw the wing nut 8 into the threaded part at the upper end of the spindle 4, and tighten. It is set to cheese carrier 1. Such cheese setting is performed for all spindles 4. Next, a dewatering attachment A that holds a plurality of movable frames 18 in a suspended manner on the outer peripheral edge of the top plate 9
is lowered from above so as to cover the cheese carrier 1, and the movable frame 18 is positioned outside the cheese group consisting of a plurality of cheeses 50 loaded on each spindle 4. At this time, the center of the top plate 9 faces the upper end of the support shaft 3. In this state, turn the hanging ring 12 to tighten the threaded part 1.
3 is screwed into the screw hole 15 and tightened, the top plate 9 and the bottom plate 2 are integrally connected, and the chinizu group is covered by the movable frame 18 from the outside. At this time, since the movable frame 18 is urged outward by the spring means 23, it moves to a position where it abuts the locking part 24a of the protection member 2, and moves away from the cheese group as shown in FIG. Waiting in position.

The cheese carrier 1 with the dewatering attachment A assembled as described above is housed in the rotating basket 31 by fitting the support shaft 3 into the spindle 33 of the rotating basket 31 of the dehydrator 30, as shown in FIG. Subjected to dehydration treatment.
