SU419000A3 - SETTING FOR CHEESE FORMING - Google Patents

Description

This invention relates to installations for forming cheese from a mixture of whey and curd.

A known device for forming cheese, containing a vertical column, a device for feeding a mixture of cheese grain with whey and moving it upwards along the column, but at least one rotary shell for compacting the cheese grain, located directly above the top section of the column, a device for collecting and removing whey and containers for molded cheese.

The known installations do not provide effective molding, and therefore high quality cheese.

A distinctive feature of the proposed installation is that the lateral surface of the walls of the column is made solid, and the device for collecting and removing serum is a pallet mounted outside the column in the zone of its upper cut.

At the same time, the installation is equipped with a pushing device mounted above the shell and made with the possibility of reciprocating movement.

Between the column and the shell there is a rotating horizontal disk - a knife with a window corresponding to the upper cut plane of the column and the lower cut plane of the shell and located between the column and the shell.

FIG. 1 shows the proposed installation, a longitudinal section; in fig. 2 - the same

plan view.

The device for forming cheese consists of a vertical column 1, a drill for feeding a mixture of gray grain with whey into the column, several turning shells 2 s.

mounted devices, rotating horizontal disk - knife 3 and devices for collecting and removing serum.

The side walls of the column 1 are solid and form a channel for feeding the mixture of cheese grains with whey from the bottom up. The upper end of the column 1 has a horizontal section 4 having a ring shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the column. In this case, the cut may have a different shape.

The lower part of column 1 is made in the form of a truncated cone 5 with a small base facing downwards and connected to a device for feeding a mixture of cheese grains and whey to the column. This device consists of a rotary pump 6 with two rotors 7 and a pipe 8 for feeding the mixture of cheese grain with whey into the column. Rotary shells 2 are located directly above the upper cut 4 columns 1

and by means of the stubble 9, it is connected to the tubular shaft 10, which is loosely mounted on the vertical axis 11. The shaft 10 is driven in a periodic circular motion by means of a gear transmission 12, 13.

The pressing device is installed above the shell 2 and consists of a plate 14, made with the possibility of 1B013B | retreat-1Poperative movement, a vertical rod 15, carrying at the upper end the weight box 16 for the load 17. The rod 15 passes through the sleeve 18 fixed on the radially located rod 19, associated with the tubular shaft 10.

On the vertical shaft 10 fixed horizontal disk - knife 3, located between the upper cut 4 of the column 1 and the shell 2. It has a window corresponding to the upper plane of the cut 4 of the column 1 and the lower plane of the cut of the shell 2.

The device for the collection and removal of serum is a pallet 20, mounted on the outside of the column 1 in the zone of its upper cut 4.

The edge 2 of the pallet 20 is designed as a gutter and extends around the entire circumference of the knife 3. The sloping bottom of the pallet 20 has holes (on the retainers not shown) in the section of the shell 2. A tube 22 is connected to the part of the pallet 20 for whey release.

The installation works as follows.

The mixture of cheese grains and whey from the tank through pipe 8 and the rotary pump 6 is fed up along column 1. While the mixture is moving, one of the shells 2 is positioned above column 1 and against the window of the disk-knife 3. In this way the cheese mass fills the shell. through a section 4, columns 1 are poured into tray 20.

When the shell is filled with a sufficient amount of curd, the disk-knife 3 quickly rotates on axis 11, as a result of which the twist of the cheese is cut off from the total mass of the mixture of cheese grains and whey, and the opening of the column I is closed with the surface of the disc

3. At the same time, the required pressure is maintained in the column with the help of plate 14. After cutting the circle of cheese, the shaft 10 freely performs a schagovy circular motion and moves the shell 2 with the pressing device to the unloading position of the molded cheese. A shell 2 with a circle of cheese is placed above the window of the knife 3 and the hole of the pallet 20. Under the action of the load 17 on the plate 14

the cheese is squeezed out of the shell 2 and falls into the container 23 for the molded cheese supplied by the conveyor 24. Thereafter, the disc 3 turns again, its window is placed above the cut 4 of column 1, and the shell 2

filled with cheese mass.
