ABSTRACT:
An inner vertically upright perforated conduit is concentric within an outer vertically upright conduit. The chamber between the conduits is separated by fluid impervious rings forming sub-chambers. Hot curd cooking water is injected into the various sub-chambers in controlled amounts through corresponding valves to provide cheese at 135.degree. F. at the bottom exit port of the cheese passageway formed by the inner conduit. The water and curd/cheese together form a pressure head of at least about 2 psi at the bottom of the conduits. Raw curd is fed in a continuous process to the top of the inner conduit producing finished cheese at the bottom without moving parts. A shredder at the bottom automatically shreds the cheese. The shredder includes a rotating blade with blow out apertures for ejecting shredded cheese from a fixed shredding plate. The shredded cheese is automatically cooled and salted in a single continuous process.
