ABSTRACT:
A cheese brining rack is composed of a number of shelves, the shelves having perforation therein for the free flow of brine through the shelves and about blocks of cheese which are held by bouyant forces against the undersides of the shelves. The shelves, which preferably will be made of stainless steel are joined together along by collapsible linkages. Collapsible linkages may be formed by tubular support brackets with support chains passing therethrough and being joined to the tubular brackets by transverse pins. The collapsible brine racks are employed with an overhead hoist assembly. A hoist assembly positions the shelves with respect to the surface of brine in a brine tank. The shelves have a downwardly extending lip on one end which serves to retain blocks of cheese which are moved by a current brine into the space between the shelves. When blocks of cheese are unloaded from the shelves, the lip is positioned relative to the brine surface such that the blocks may freely float under the lip. Thereby, allowing the brine current to unload the cheese brining racks.
