ABSTRACT:
A cheese cubing apparatus divides blocks of cheese into relatively small cubes which are then shredded for depositing on pizza crusts. A pair of parallel inclined conveyors having similarly opposed cutters secured to the upper end. Each conveyor is driven by a hydraulic motor in a timed manner to locate the cheese block and to then hesitate. A laterally extending hydraulic piston unit forces the cheese block outwardly through a stationary cutting element defined by spaced wires in the discharge path to form cubes which drop into the cheese shredders mounted therebetween. Each conveyor has a belt formed of stainless steel slats interconnected by suitable pin means and spaced plates to carry the cheese blocks. Conveyor sidewalls are releasably secured to a box-like frame and to each other to permit ready exposure of the operating components for cleaning. Each of the shredders includes a rotating support disc with an apertured basket releasably secured thereto. A plurality of circumferentially spaced cutter arms rotate oppositely within the basket and force the cheese cubes out the basket to shred the cheese. An outer encircling wall is releasably hung upon the main framework by a pin and cylinder coupling. A chute member has a lower circle base which rests on the upper end of the tubular wall and is clamped in position by a suitable latch member. An additional outer baffle is hung on the framework and encircles the lower end of the cutter to maintain complete enclosure of the shredded material as it drops.
