An enclosed finishing vat for cheesemaking(Cheddar, Colby or stirred-curd types) has a generally flat bottom with longitudinal trough for whey drainage; an oval side wall and a dome-shaped top which overlaps the sides. A reciprocating agitator unit mounted above the vat is fitted with both stirring and unloading paddles. Curd and whey are passed into the vat through an inlet in the top and whey drains into a tank situated at the lower end of the vat, with a screen to prevent curd from entering the tank. A curd discharge outlet with movable door is situated in the bottom wall of the tank, directly above a curd hopper fitted with a conveyor for moving curd to a collection area. As the vat is totally enclosed, contamination of the curd is virtually eliminated, evaporation heating of the vat is not required...(US Patent, 1982, no. 4, 308791 : information obtained through the FSTA data base). 2, record 2, English, - finishing%20vat

Water is contained in the washing and stoning tank(...), and the wheat is fed through a spout(...) into a trough containing a worm conveyor, or wheat worm(...) ;below the wheat worm is the stoning worm(...). The spout discharges the wheat through a troughed feed hopper into the rising side of the wheat worm, which keeps the wheat suspended in the water and conveys it towards the whizzer, while the agitation of the water dissolves and washes away the mud balls and surface dirt; stones and metal particles sink into the stoning worm, which conveys them in the opposite direction and delivers them to a stone-collecting hopper(...) 1, record 3, English, - washing%20and%20stoning%20tank
