Abstract
To develop a novel whey heating concentration device capable of performing from cooling cheese whey to concentrating it in one step by just transferring only once and setting the cheese whey produced as a by-product in cheese processing, to a concentration container.SOLUTION: A whey heating concentration device C comprises a base 11, a processing vat 2 removably placed on the base 11, a stirring device 3 for stirring cheese whey H in the processing vat 2, and a heating device 4 for heating the processing vat 2. The stirring device 3 includes a stirring shaft 34 being driven to rotate, and a side scraper 35a and a bottom scraper 35b attached to the stirring shaft, where the respective scrapers include scraper flaps 36a and 36b that are bent and brought into contact with an inner surface of the processing vat 2. Preferably, the bottom scraper flap 36b includes a follow-up promoting cut 37 extending upward from a lower edge.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
