The hopper and water tank are filled with heated water, and the auger conveys curd from the hopper through the water tank as the curd is mixed and stretched by the auger. The curd is compressed against the auger by an inclined deflector plate in the tank, the curd is further compressed as it passes into the cylindrical tube. Additional compression and mixing is caused by a restricting plate at the end of the tube which restricts the outflow of the curd thereby creating back pressure in the tube. The curd is prevented from turning with the auger by a longitudinally extending baffle on the deflector plate and longitudinally extending baffles which extend radially inwardly from the tube. Control means are provided for maintaining the water at the desired temperature while the curd is being mixed.,下面是Apparatus for mixing cheese curd专利的具体信息内容。

1. An apparatus for use in the manufacture of Pasta filata cheese by a process wherein the curd after separation from the whey is soaked in a water bath, comprising means for substantially separating the curd from water, means for heating said curd in direct contact with water to the plastic temperature range of said curd, means for mixing said heated curd in a confined zone under pressure at a temperature in said plastic temperature range of said curd, and means for forcing the mixed curd from said confined zone, including a restricted back-pressure creating outlet, whereby said curd is formed into a plastic mass ready for molding.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 in which heating means is provided in conjunction with said mixing means, said heating means being adapted to maintain said curd at a temperature in the range from about 130* to about 150*F. while it is being mixed.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 in which the mixing means includes an elongated auger and means for rotating the auger.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 in which the mixing means includes a water tank and a tube extending from the water tank which provide the confined zone, an elongated auger extending through the water taNk and tube, and means for rotating the auger.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 in which said water tank contains water at a temperature in the range of about 130*F. to about 150*F. and means for maintaining the temperature of the water within said range.
6. The apparatus of claim 4 including a disc mounted within the tube, the tube being generally cylindrical and having an inside diameter greater than the diameter of the disc for providing the restricted back-pressure creating outlet.
7. An apparatus for mixing cheese curd in contact with heated water comprising a water tank for containing the heated water, means for delivering curd to the tank, a tube extending from the tank, auger means rotatably mounted within the tank and the tube for conveying the curd therethrough while mixing the curd, means for rotating the auger, and a restricting plate mounted within the tube whereby a restricted back-pressure creating outlet is provided between the plate and the wall of the tube.
8. An apparatus for mixing cheese curd in contact with heated water comprising a water tank for containing the heated water, means for delivering curd to the tank, a tube extending from the tank auger means rotatably mounted within the tank and the tube for conveying the curd therethrough while mixing the curd, means for rotating the auger, the water tank including side walls extending upwardly adjacent the auger means to provide a relatively confined zone in the tank through which the auger extends, and deflector plate means mounted within the water tank between the side walls thereof and above the auger means, the deflector plate means being positioned between the curd delivery means and the tube, whereby the curd is compressed toward the auger means as the curd is advanced toward the tube.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 in which the deflector plate means comprises an inclined plate extending upwardly and away from adjacent the area at which the tube extends from the tank.
10. An apparatus for mixing cheese curd in contact with heated water comprising a water tank for containing the heated water, means for delivering curd to the tank, a tube extending from the tank, auger means rotatably mounted within the tank and the tube for conveying thecurd therethrough while mixing the curd, means for rotating the auger, and baffle means mounted within the tank adjacent the auger means for substantially preventing rotation of the curd within the auger means.
11. An apparatus for mixing cheese curd in contact with heated water comprising a water tank for containing the heated water, means for delivering curd to the tank, a tube extending from the tank, auger means rotatably mounted within the tank and the tube for conveying the curd therethrough while mixing the curd, and means for rotating the auger, heating means for maintaining the temperature of the water at a predetermined level, the heating means including steam inlet means for introducing steam into the water and temperature sensing and control means operatively associated with the steam inlet means, and air inlet means for introducing air into the water, the air inlet means being operatively associated with temperature sensing and control means whereby air is introduced into the water when steam is not being introduced into the water.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 in which the tube is generally cylindrical and has an inside diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the auger means whereby a pressure-creating confined zone is provided by the tube.
