Cheese Molding Machine consisting of a central body where the augers that push the pasta filata inside the molding section are housed; on the upper part the loading hopper is fixed through some screws; the whole equipment is assembled on a support structure with three tubular legs. At the end of the augers body the drum molding section is placed, it is tighten against the machine body thanks to a lever system. The pasta filata cheese coming from the stretching machine is loaded into the hopper and picked up by the augers that feed non-stop the molding section in which spherical or cylindrical shapes could be obtained, inserting the special molds.
The 4 or 6 augers for pasta filata advancement are put in action by an unit made up of an electrical motor controlled by a vectorial inverter and a double reducer; from the control panel on machine border, the couple delivered by the exit motor is set, by turning a potentiometer; the vectorial inverter allows the automatic variation of the exit speed according to the applied resistant couple; this system guarantees the constancy of the pasta filata pressure in the molding section. The molding drum is moved by a motor electric-reducer unit with the possibility to change the speed continuously through inverter.
