Abstract: A cheese vat for at least preparing curd for soft fresh cheese, comprising at least one cutting frame provided with a cutting wire system, which has a frame which has at least two opposite frame parts between which cutting wire sections extend, which frame parts are provided with openings form receiving a cutting wire, wherein the ends of a cutting wire are each fastened via pull relief means.

Abstract: A cutting frame for use in a curd vat, which cutting frame comprises substantially parallel frame girders, between which is situated a lattice formed from longitudinal knives and transverse knives, of which the transverse knives are mounted on the frame girders by welding and have aligned openings, in which the longitudinal knives are received, wherein the longitudinal knives are strip-shaped knives having a length dimension and a width dimension and having at least one sharp cutting edge extending in the length dimension, which cutting edge is formed by at least one obliquely ground cutting face, wherein the width of the longitudinal knives is smaller than the corresponding dimension of the openings of the transverse knives, and wherein means are provided for substantially preventing displacement of the longitudinal knives in the length dimension, wherein at least a number of openings of at least a number of transverse knives is provided with supporting elements which substantially lock the longitudinal kniv

Abstract: A curd preparation vat provided with a sealing construction for a shaft passing through a wall of the vat, which sealing construction has at least one receiving space and a sealing ring included therein in operation, surrounding the shaft, wherein the sealing ring has an annular body which is provided with a sealing lip which cooperates with a radially extending surface of the sealing construction, and wherein the annular body furthermore has an axially inner surface abutting against first positioning means of the sealing construction, wherein the sealing lip of the at least one sealing ring extends both radially and axially obliquely outwards from a both radially and axially outer edge area of the annular body, and wherein between the sealing lip and the inner surface of the annular body that abuts against the shaft, an axially outer surface of the annular body is situated, which cooperates directly with second positioning means, which leave the lip clear, for fixing the at least one sealing ring between the
