Draining is the act of separating the whey from the curds by passing the former through a metal strainer in the vat exit gate or through a sieve laying the length of the vat.... At the end of drainage, a trench of curd is generally formed....

CONT

Whey can be removed by drainage from vats or kettles. Otherwise, the mixture of curds and whey may be pumped or dipped from the vat to a drain table perforated molds (forms or hoops), or cheesecloth. The result is the same: whey and curds are separated.

  • Cheese and Dairy Products
CONT

On some of the open type cheese vats it was possible to mount a strainer on the agitator carriage, from which the whey could be sucked up from the cheese vat without stopping the agitator. Unfortunately, this was not possible when using the enclosed cheese vats, as the agitator had to be stopped before the whey was drained. If the cheese vat was equipped with fixed whey outlets, it was necessary to stop the agitator and let the curd settle to a level below the whey outlet.
