  • Publication number: 20140102961
    Abstract: A multi-component apparatus reduces the moisture content of thickened, coagulated, or curdled food stuffs. The food stuffs rest upon a slotted tray, and gravity forces the excess moisture through the openings of the tray, a center filter, a disk screen, and into a collection cup. The disk screen has a solid surface that lines up with the openings in the tray and is raised and lowered using attached slide latches, dependent on the latch position. When the latches are positioned to the open position, the fluid is allowed to flow through into the attached collection cup and allows for the collection cup to be removed for draining and complete cleaning. The filter may be inside the tray or between the tray and the disk screen. A cover may be placed on the tray either during or following the filtration process to store the food product.
