ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for adding salt to a continuous stream of hot glutinous curd in the manufacture of Pasta Filata cheese, comprises an open-ended trough for passage therethrough of the stream of curd, a measuring roller rotatably mounted on a swing frame pivotally mounted on the trough with the roller in rolling engagement with the top of the curd, electrical means measuring the angle of the swing frame and the rotational speed of the roller so as to provide an output corresponding to the volumetric rate of flow of curd along the trough, and a vibratory conveyor supplying salt to the curd at a rate corresponding to the output of the electrical measuring means. The salt is mixed into the curd by power driven roller discs which project into the curd in the trough and draw the curd along the trough upon rotation of the roller discs.
