installation for the transport and storage of nypressede cheeses, in particular in forbindeslse with saltningsanlaeg

摘要

A system for conveying and storing newly pressed cheeses (6), comprising a plurality of shelves made as conveyor units each comprising a row of crosswise disposed carrier bars (24, 28), of which some are cyclically movable so as to cause the cheeses (6) to be displaceable along the shelf structure. The cheeses (6) may thus be fed to and moved away from respective storing positions on the shelves by the conveyor action of the shelves themselves, and during the storing whether in air or in a liquid the cheeses (6) may be slowly reciprocated to avoid surface deformation thereof and allow free access to all surface portions thereof. When used in combination with a brine vat (2) the conveyor shelves will support the underlying cheeses (6) because of their buoyancy in the brine, but the cyclically movable bars (28) act as a conveying means on both the top side and the underside of the shelf, to enable reciprocation even of cheeses (6) submerged in brine.
