CA 2258012

A method and apparatus for producing shredded food products, such as cheese, is disclosed. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a sheet former (10), a casting line (20), and a shredding assembly (40), all of which function as a single unit. The shredding assembly first slices the incoming sheet of cheese into ribbons and then cuts each of these ribbons to length. The sheet of cheese may be sliced into ribbons by passing the cheese through a pair of rollers (51, 52) having grooves or slots machined into their surfaces, the width of the slots (55) corresponding to the desired width of the cheese ribbons. The cheese ribbons are presented to a plurality of transversely mounted elongate blades (211), each of which revolves about a common axis. Each blade cuts off segments of desired lengths from the cheese ribbons.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil de production de produits alimentaires râpé tels que du fromage comportant une unité (10) de formation de tranches, une chaîne de moulage (20) et un ensemble de râpage (40) toutes trois formant une seule unité. L'ensemble de râpage découpe la feuille de fromage entrante en bandes qui sont ensuite coupées en longueur. Le découpage des feuilles de fromage en bandes peut se faire à l'aide d'une paire de rouleaux (51, 52) dont la surface présente des rainures ou des fentes, la largeur des fentes (55) correspondant à la largeur souhaitée des bandes de fromage. Les bandes de fromage sont ensuite soumises à plusieurs lames allongées transversales (211) tournant autour d'un axe commun. Chacune des lames découpe des segments de longueurs voulues dans les bandes de fromage.
