A rennet injection system for use with a food processing vat comprising:
- an injector receiving rennet from a rennet supply line and having multiple openings that face different directions into a food processing vat and through which rennet is delivered out of the injector and into the vat, such that the multiple openings deliver rennet to multiple rennet delivery locations that are spaced apart from each other within the vat.
A food processing vat system comprising:
- a vat having opposing side walls that interconnect opposing end walls and that defines a vat center-line along a longitudinal axis extending between the end walls;
- and
- a rennet injection system having multiple openings for delivering rennet to multiple rennet delivery locations within the vat that are spaced from each other and generally aligned upon the vat center-line.
