摘要

A processing apparatus, particularly a stirring and distributing apparatus for a machine for draining and metering curds in the preparation of cheese, comprises a processing device (12) mounted on a shaft (11) which is rotatable about its own centre line. The shaft (11)is also rotatable about a central axis of rotation (9), extending at a distance from and parallel to said shaft (9), together with drive means for simultaneously rotating the processing device (12) both about its own centre line and about the central axis of rotation (9). Means for measuring the resistance encountered by the rotating processing device (12) during operation comprise a measuring shaft (13) extending coaxially to the central axis of rotation (9) and which is coupled via a transmission means to the shaft (11) of the processing device (12). Retaining means (14, 15, 16) are provided in order to prevent or limit the rotation of the measuring shaft (13) and the measure torque acting on the measuring shaft (13).
