Abstract
A cheese former for making large batches of cheese in a continuous process includes a tower having a screen along its internal side wall and a central screen extending along the axis of the tower, wherein whey may be separated from a curds and whey mixture introduced into the tower by drawing the whey through the screens toward both the perimeter of the tower and the central axis of the tower for removal from the system. This permits large quantities of cheese such as 600-650 pound blocks or 500 pound barrels to be made in a continuous tower forming system.
