[0002] Cheese is also called cheese. Chinese food regulations call cheese cottage cheese. Cheese is a dairy product. Most cheeses are made from cow's milk and goat's milk as the main raw materials. To make cheese, you must first add rennet and lactic acid bacteria to the milk to make the liquid milk gelatinous. Then separate the curd (solid part) from the whey (yellow-green translucent liquid) and put it into a mold to form and add salt. In the current cheese pressing process, a single cheese is usually pressed, and the cheese pressing time is mostly 90 minutes. Therefore, only one piece of cheese is pressed, resulting in a long production time and the need for multiple presses. In this regard, a cheese press is proposed, which can squeeze multiple pieces of cheese together to reduce production costs.
