Abstract
A method of manufacturing slices of processed cheese in which a hot cooked mass of the cheese is extruded onto a moving endless belt formed of plastics material provided with a release coating which does not adhere to the cheese, the mass of cheese is spread by a roller into a thin layer, the layer of cheese is carried by the belt through a cooling chamber where the cheese solidifies, and the solidified layer of cheese is peeled from the belt and divided to form individual slices. In a modification, the hot mass of cheese is extruded onto a moving web of film plastics material supported on an endless belt conveyor, the web being fed from a roll of the material at the upstream end of the conveyor and the solidified layer of cheese being peeled from the web before the web is rewound on a reel at the downstream end of the conveyor. In a further modification, the web carrying the solidified layer of cheese is peeled from the endless belt, slit longitudinally into strips which are superimposed on one another and then divided transversely to form stacks of individual cheese slices interleaved with film plastics material.
