Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2183334A1] A device for preparing sour milk, curd or yoghurt products with a fermenter (2) and a simple design removes the liq-uid from the sour milk, curd or yoghurt products and packages the same for con-sumptoin, while keeping alive the micro-organisms contained in such products. In a development of the invention, said products may be returned to their original state by admixture of water. A reservoir (3) with a vertically movable pressure plate (4) and a pressing grid (5), as well as a screen-like bottom (31) with a number of relatively small openings is mounted downstream of the fermenter (2). The ripe sour milk, curd and yoghurt prod-ucts may be pressed against the bottom (31) by the pressure plate (4) in order to reduce their water content. One side wall of the reservoir (3) is provided with a flap (32) at the height of the pressing screen (5), and the pressing grid may be pushed out through that opening together with the products having a reduced water content and moulded into pieces.
