  • Patent number: 4750415
    Abstract: A device for pressing and molding curd includes a mold reverser (1) in the form of an endless conveyor (16) transporting cheese molds (2) along a horizontal upper run on which the molds stand upright with their fill apertures at the top, and a horizontal lower run on which the molds are upside down. The conveyor supports transverse mold bottoms (17) to which rows of molds are fixedly attached. Mold lids (20) which are open when the molds are on the upper run are automatically closed when the molds are moved down to the lower run, are maintained closed along most of the lower run, are opened for emptying the finished cheeses into a water basin (4), and are opened when the molds are moved back up onto the upper run. The arrangement makes possible the automatic filling of the molds by a filling device (3) located above the conveyor, and forced pressing of the curd by a pressing device (5) above the conveyor and downstream the filling device.
