ABSTRACT:
A cheese processing vat of the type having a pair of interconnected wall portions each having a compound frustoconical shape, with agitator panels rotating therein to sweep volumes which correspond to the frustoconical wall portions, said agitator panels having radially inner edge portions spaced radially outwardly from the axis of panel rotation, and the axes of rotation of the two panels are spaced at a distance less than the radius of the volumes swept by the panels. In this manner, the overlap in the volumes swept by the respective panels permits the radially outer edge portion of one panel to pass through the normally quiescent space at and beyond the axis of rotation of the other panel. A unique divergent cutting blade orientation positions a framework of outwardly extending blades and intersecting longitudinally extending blades so that the blades are neither parallel to nor perpendicular to the axis of panel rotation. This provides beneficial cross cutting of the cheese mass during processing.
