ABSTRACT:
An improved food processing vat including an outer shell, and a vessel to contain a food product, such as curds and whey, is spaced inwardly of the shell and is composed of a pair of generally cylindrical sections which intersect along vertical apices. Each apex is generally curved and has a radius in the range of 1:6 to 1:12 with respect to the radius of the cylindrical sections. A heating medium, such as steam, is introduced into the area beneath the vessel and the outer shell at locations diposed outwardly of each apex. An agitator unit is disposed in each cylindrical section and each unit includes a rotatable vertical shaft and a frame extends radially from each shaft. Each frame consists of a series of vertical and horizontal blades and a swinging blade is mounted on the outer end of each frame and is freely swingable from a cutting position where the sharp edge of the blade leads in the direction of rotation to an angular stirring position where the side of the blade faces in the direction of rotation. In addition, a lower frame section is pivotally connected to the lower edge of each frame and is movable between a cutting and stirring position.
