Abstract
A press cover corresponds to a cheese mould, in particular a cheese mould that is arranged in a cassette press or the like. The press cover has a simple construction, to withstand pressure and to meet high hygienic standards. The press cover is of one piece and comprises a single-walled perforated plate, and a ribbed structure integrally formed on the side of the perforated plate remote from the cheese mould. The ribbed structure comprises longitudinal ribs in the form of webs and annular cross ribs arranged crossing the latter.
Claims16
A press cover of a cheese mould, a cross-section of the press cover corresponding to an internal cross-section of the cheese mould, the press cover comprising:
- a single-walled perforated plate with a ribbed structure monolithically formed on a side of the perforated plate facing away from the cheese mould such that the perforated plate and the ribbed structure are connected to each other inseparably and without connecting elements,
- wherein the press cover including the perforated plate and the ribbed structure is only one piece and is entirely made of a food-approved plastic,
- wherein the ribbed structure comprises longitudinal ribs forming webs, and annular transverse ribs arranged crossing the longitudinal ribs,
- wherein the annular transverse ribs comprise a plurality of solid annular rings above the perforated plate with different diameters, and
- wherein each of the solid annular rings is provided with a plurality of openings configured for an outflow of liquid through that solid annular ring, each of the openings being provided in one of the solid annular rings itself between two of the longitudinal ribs.
A press cover of a cheese mould, a cross-section of the press cover corresponding to an internal cross-section of the cheese mould, the press cover comprising:
- a single-walled perforated plate with a ribbed structure monolithically formed with the perforated plate such that the press cover, which includes the perforated plate and the ribbed structure, is formed as only one piece of a food-approved plastic,
- wherein the ribbed structure is on a side of the perforated plate that faces away from the cheese mould, the ribbed structure comprising longitudinal ribs extending radially, and annular transverse ribs, a plurality of the longitudinal ribs crossing through at least one of the annular transverse ribs,
- wherein the annular transverse ribs comprise a plurality of solid annular rings above the perforated plate with different diameters, and
- wherein each of the solid annular rings is provided with a plurality of openings configured for an outflow of liquid through that solid annular ring, each of the openings being provided in one of the solid annular rings itself between two of the longitudinal ribs.
A press cover of a cheese mould, a cross-section of the press cover corresponding to an internal cross-section of the cheese mould, the press cover comprising:
- a single-walled perforated plate with a ribbed structure formed above the perforated plate on a side of the perforated plate facing away from the cheese mould,
- wherein the press cover, which includes the perforated plate and the ribbed structure, is manufactured in only one piece such that the perforated plate and the ribbed structure are monolithically formed and connected to each other inseparably without connecting elements, the press cover being entirely made of a food-approved plastic, and
- wherein the ribbed structure comprises longitudinal ribs forming webs, and annular transverse ribs, a plurality of the longitudinal ribs crossing through at least one of the annular transverse ribs, wherein each of the solid annular rings is provided with a plurality of openings configured for an outflow of liquid through that solid annular ring, each of the openings being provided in one of the solid annular rings itself between two of the longitudinal ribs.
