Cheese production device and method
The method involves cooling an intermediate mass (8) provided in a container (2), which is made of plastic. The mass is cooled in such a manner that contracting and/or stabilizing the shape of the mass, so that the mass lies under displacement of side walls (5) from a container base (4) after cooling, without lateral pressure on the side walls. The container is turned by guiding a conveyor belt around a turning point (11) with horizontally aligned turning point axis (12), so that the mass formed as a cheese block (13) falls based on gravitational force from the container. An independent claim is also included for a partially or fully-automatic cheese production device for producing fresh cheese suitable for roasting and broiling.
