ABSTRACT:
A rotary cheese molder especially adapted for consumer size cheese pieces is disclosed. The molder includes a stationary cooling head having enclosed sides and a bottom wall with a fill opening and a discharge opening. A mold body is rotationally driven within the head and includes an upper plate and a lower plate. Two circular rows of mold sleeves extend between the upper and lower plates. The mold sleeves overlap the fill and discharge openings so that cheese can fill the sleeves and be discharged therefrom. A mold plunger in each of the mold sleeves determines the size and shape of the cheese pieces and cams along a discharge ramp to eject the cheese pieces from the molder. A manifold pipe around the periphery of the mold body and a central pipe which extends into the central portion of the mold body spray cooling liquid onto the sleeves between the upper and lower plates. The cooling liquid cools the cheese pieces in the sleeves before the cheese pieces reach the discharge opening to facilitate discharge of the cheese pieces from the sleeves and to help retain the shape of the cheese pieces after ejection from the sleeves.
