The surface is made up of parallel bars 40 (Fig. 5) wherein each bar is inclined at a shallow angle with respect to the direction of conveyance so as to cause the cheese to gently cascade over the filter with separation of liquid but not too much disintegration of cheese particles. Similar results can be obtained with macaroni, kidney beans and cherries. The lower end of the screen may be bent for faster dewatering in the inlet section.
