ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method and apparatus for filling curd into cheese moulds (6). During the cheese production process, milk is separated in a cheese vat (1) into curd and whey (2), both of which are routed to a piping manifold that distributes the curd for the run-off drainage of the whey (8) into cheese moulds (6) placed in a whey drainage vat (7). According to the invention, the manifold comprises a main line (3) exiting from the cheese vat, a plurality of side lines (5) branching from the main line and discharging into the multiple cheese moulds (6), and a return line (9) which forms a continuation of the main line and is routed back to the cheese vat, whereby the discharge of the curd in whey takes place as a continuous process via the main line and the side lines into the cheese moulds, while simultaneously the excess flow is returned at a set rate via the return line back to the pan. In its preferred form the apparatus comprises a plurality of moulds (6) connected to the main line (3) at its branching points (4), whereby the obtained semi-finished cheeses are small enough as not to require sectioning prior to pressing.
