Abstract

The invention relates to devices for producing cottage cheese. In the curd clot pressing installation, between the fixed 2 and movable 4 tube sheets there are filter elements 6 made in the form of bags of filter cloth fixed by a quick-detachable mechanism 7. Filter elements are located on both sides of the movable tube dehydration in the filter elements 6 is carried out using cyclic force impact of movable tube sheets 4, reciprocating e movement. Touching the tubes of motionless 2 and movable 4 of the tube sheet, the curd is cooled. After reaching the required values of temperature and humidity, the process stops, the shafts of the quick-detachable mechanism 7 rotate, the filter elements with cottage cheese fall down and are removed from the unit. Using this design of the cottage cheese pressing plant allows to reduce dimensions and metal consumption, reduce labor costs in the production of cottage cheese. 1 ill.

Description

The utility model relates to devices for the production of cottage cheese.

A known installation design for pressing a curd clot [1], with fixed on the frame fixed tube sheets and movable tube sheets, driven in a reciprocating motion using a pneumatic cylinder. Cottage cheese clot with the help of dispensers is fed into the filter elements, made in the form of sleeves of filter cloth, pinched in the lower part using a clamping mechanism. The filter elements are located only on one side of the movable tube sheets, a part of the internal volume of the installation is not used. Cottage cheese is cooled by supplying a coolant to the tube sheets; whey separation is intensified by cyclic force action of the movable tube sheet. Upon reaching the required humidity and temperature, the clamping mechanism opens and the cottage cheese is poured out of the filter element. The disadvantage of this design is the significant dimensions, as well as the need for manual labor, which consists in shaking the sleeves to completely empty the filter elements at the end of the process and removing them for subsequent washing.

The proposed installation of pressing curd clot contains a frame, fixed and movable tube sheets connected to pipelines of supply and removal of coolant, a dosing device, a tray for collecting whey. The movable tube sheets are driven, for example, by means of a pneumatic cylinder.

The filter elements, made in the form of bags of filter cloth, are located between the stationary tube sheets, on both sides of the movable tube sheets. The upper part of the filter element is fixed to the frame using a quick-release mechanism. A dosing device is installed above the filter elements, and a serum collection tray is located in the lower part of the unit. On the sides, the installation is closed by enclosing structures.

Using this design of the installation of pressing curd clot allows you to reduce the size and metal consumption, reduce labor costs in the production of cottage cheese. The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the location of the filtering elements on both sides of the movable tube sheets allows you to fill the entire internal volume of the installation, eliminating unused internal space, as in the installation [1], which reduces the overall length and, accordingly, the metal consumption of the installation. In addition, the cost of manual labor is reduced, since the bags are discarded with a quick-release mechanism after the end of the process and there is no need to shake them to remove cottage cheese residues during emptying and manual removal for subsequent washing.

This utility model is illustrated in the drawing.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of the installation. The curd clot pressing installation comprises a frame 1, on which fixed tube sheets 2 are fixed, connected to pipelines 3 for supplying and discharging a coolant. The movable tube sheets 4 are connected to the pneumatic cylinder 5, providing reciprocating motion, and to the pipelines 3 supply and removal of coolant.

Between the fixed 2 and the movable 4 tube sheets there are filter elements 6 made in the form of bags of filter cloth. The upper part of the filter element 6 is fixed using a quick-release mechanism 7, which is, for example, rotating shafts with pins, for which the filter element is attached. The lower part of the filter element is located between the movable 4 and the stationary 2 tube sheets. The filter elements 6 are located on both sides of the movable tube sheet 4.

A metering device 8 is installed above the filtering elements 6. The dispensers are interconnected by a supply pipe.

Under the filtering elements 6 is a tray for collecting serum 9. On the sides, the installation is closed by enclosing structures. Installation management is automated.

Installation pressing curd clot works as follows. The curd clot with serum is supplied to the filter elements 6 by means of a metering device 8. To accelerate the dehydration process, the movable tube sheets 4 use the pneumatic cylinder 5 to reciprocate, alternating by cyclic force acting on the curd clot located in the filter elements on both sides of the movable tube sheet.

Touching the tubes of fixed 2 and movable 4 tube sheets, along which the coolant moves, the curd clot cools. After reaching the required temperature and humidity, the process stops. The shafts of the quick-release mechanism 7 are rotated, the filter elements 6 with cottage cheese fall down and are removed from the installation.

Using this design of the installation of pressing curd clot allows you to reduce the size and metal consumption, reduce labor costs in the production of cottage cheese.
