20110252982 | Blade Arrangement For A Food Processing Vat - A food processing vat is provided with blade assemblies that extend from opposing sides of a rotating shaft. The blade assemblies may be curved or otherwise face different directions at different locations along their respective lengths. The vat may have a pair of rotating shafts and the rotation of the shafts may be timed so that the blade assemblies of the shafts simultaneously travel through a common swept volume. The blade assemblies may be positioned on the shafts so that they intermesh through each other while simultaneously moving through the common volume. | 10-20-2011 |
20120097049 | METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF STEEL SURFACES, PARTICULARLY OF CHEESEMAKING MACHINES - In order to avoid using anti-stick paints, based on polytetrafluoroethylene or the like, on parts of cheesemaking machines which are to be in contact with hot curds (pastafilata), their surfaces are sandblasted with preferably virgin white corundum powder having a granulometry of about 180 mesh. Surprisingly, surfaces so treated are non-stick for the purposes mentioned above. | 04-26-2012 |
20140096688 | APPARATUS FOR CUTTING AND/OR STIRRING CURD - Apparatus for cutting curd, including a curd vat with drive shaft and cutting frames with a U-shaped or closed frame for longitudinal knives and transverse knives. The transverse knives are caught by their ends by recesses provided in the side frame girders. The longitudinal knives may be caught by recesses provided in the transverse knives, which are each open towards one side of the transverse knife, the transverse knives being mounted in the side frame girders such that the longitudinal knives are caught by transverse knives alternately having open sides of those recesses extending to one and the other side. The outer transverse frame girder may comprise a slightly outwardly extending knife section over a substantial portion of its length. | 04-10-2014 |

20110239873 | Curd Cutting Apparatus - An apparatus is disclosed for cutting cheese curd mass in a curd vat. The apparatus comprises a first cutting frame that cuts the cheese curd in a first direction along one plane of the curd vat. The first cutting frame comprising one or more cutting wires extending in one or more directions. The apparatus further comprises a second cutting frame comprising one or more cutting wires extending in one or more directions. The second cutting frame operates in a second direction, wherein the second cutting operation removes the apparatus from the curd vat | 10-06-2011 |
20120186462 | DEVICE FOR FOAMING MILK - A device for foaming milk with a motor arranged in a housing, for driving a driving shaft in rotation, and a foaming element arranged on a first housing end outside of the housing, coupled to the driving shaft, which set in rotation by the latter about a rotation axis. The device includes a supporting means arranged on the housing, on which means the device can be set down with first housing end located in a low position such that the foaming element rotates freely, and wherein the rotation axis extends at an inclination with respect to the vertical. The device for foaming milk, designed in this manner, produces a milk foam which is of a quality that can be generated in apparatuses of the state of the art, wherein at the same time the handling is simplified for the operator, and requires less attention from him/her. | 07-26-2012 |
