ABSTRACT:
A perforated drainage plate for use as a lining in a cheese mould has parallel strips punched out of the plane of the plate to one side thereof to form two narrow slots on each side of each strip with the ends of the strips merging smoothly into the undeformed part of the plate. The plate is arranged with the strips abutting against the wall of the mould so that a narrow passageway is formed between the undeformed portion of the plate and the wall of the mould for draining away when forced through the slots. The strips are aligned in the direction in which a cheese block slides out of the mould after removal therefrom. The angle of inclination of the ends of the strips relative to the adjacent portion of the plate does not exceed 30 degrees, the width of the slots does not exceed 0.6 mm, and the radius of curvature of the recessed surfaces of each strip is not less than 1 mm.
