ABSTRACT:
A cheese kettle (1) is used for the separation of whey from the cheese mix and the comminuting of the cheese mix into curd particles takes place. The cheese kettle (1) is composed of two side-by-side, substantially cylindrical parts (3), located so that they partly interpenetrate, and each provided with rotary tools (2) treating the cheese mix. It is essential that the cylindrical parts (3) of the kettle (1) are inclined towards each other so that their interpenetration increases in the upward direction. The kettle bottom (7), includes circular segments substantially at right angles to the axes (4) of the cylindrical parts (3), and slope towards the draining aperture (10) in the center of the bottom, whereby the kettle is emptied without any need to tilt it specifically, and the tools (2) in the kettle can be so shaped that their sides follow, during rotation, the bottom and sides of the kettle, whereby the cheese mix is given a complete mixing and comminuting treatment covering all parts of the kettle.
