专利汇可以提供Apparatus for compacting curd in the process of manufacturing cheese专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且Apparatus is disclosed for compacting curd in the process of manufacturing cheese, the object being to provide apparatus whereby a mass of curd can be vacuum pressed into a single block of such large dimensions as to enable it to be cut into a plurality of separate pieces of a size comparable with or corresponding to that of standard unwrapped cheeses or consumer portions or wrapped as a complete block or part thereof, the apparatus thus having the important advantage of avoiding the time-consuming procedure hitherto adopted of vacuum pressing relatively small quantities of curd in separate hoops to form individual cheeses. The apparatus comprises a perforated metal sleeve adapted to receive a mass of curd. A metal casing surrounds the sleeve in such manner that a jacketed space is formed between the two. A lid or cover plate closes one end of the casing. The lid or cover plate is held removably in closed position. A piston slidably engages in the sleeve and is moved toward and away from the lid or cover plate when applied. The jacketed space between the sleeve and casing can be placed in communication with a source of vacuum, the sleeve being of foursided prismatic shape and of such internal capacity that when a sufficient quantity of curd has been placed therein and has been vacuumized through the jacketed space and the perforations in the sleeve and has also been compressed by the piston, there will be formed a compacted block of curd of such large size that when freed, or while being freed, from the sleeve, it can be cut into a plurality of pieces of a size comparable with or corresponding to that of unwrapped cheese of standard size or consumer portions.,下面是Apparatus for compacting curd in the process of manufacturing cheese专利的具体信息内容。

1. Apparatus for compacting curd in the process of manufacturing cheese, comprising a pedestal, a vertically disposed tubular metal casing mounted on and secured to the pedestal, a vertically disposed perforated metal sleeve of rectangular shape in crosssection arranged within the casing in such a manner that a jacketed space is formed between the two, the sleeve also being secured against movement to the pedestal and being adapted to receive a mass of curd, a cover plate for closing the upper end of the casing, means for holding the cover plate removably in closed position, a piston engaged for upward and downward movement within the perforated sleeve, the piston being secured to the upper end of the actuating rod of a vertically disposed ram the cylinder of which is secured to and suspended from the pedestal, and means enabling the jacketed space between the casing and the sleeve to be placed in communication with a source of vacuum.
2. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 and wherein the casing is of four-sided prismatic form and the sides of the perforated sleeve are formed with a plurality of outwardly projecting nodules the peaks of which bear against the inside faces of the casing, thereby providing the jacketed space between the sleeve and casing.
3. Apparatus in accordance with claim 2 and wherein the piston is of such cross-sectional size as to allow for the presence in the perforated sleeve of a perforated liner made from a suitable kind of plastic or stainless steel.
4. Apparatus in accordance with claim 2 and wherein the upper surface of the piston is flat and forms a support for a pad of resilient material.
5. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 and wherein a hollow manifold surrounds the upper end part of the casing, the manifold having means enabling its interior to be connected by a pipe to the source of vacuum, and also having a plurality of inwardly projecting branches which open into the jacketed space between sleeve and casing.
6. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 and wherein the pedestal is formed with inspection ports which are normally closed by removable cover plates.
