Abstract: A series of narrow and tall above-ground stainless steel tanks define independent brining cells into which cheese blocks are conveyed by common inlet and outlet flumes. Each cell has a removable conveyor assembly having a looped plastic link belt driven around a frame by an electric motor. Projecting plastic flights on the belt engage infed cheese blocks, and submerge a series of rows of blocks. An infeed flume delivers a stream of cheese blocks to a cell. Once a level below a flight is filled, the conveyor is actuated to submerge that level, and the next level is then filled until the tank is filled. After brining, the conveyor is incremented to discharge the cheeses flight by flight into an outlet flume.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling operation of a kimchi storage device. A compressor operates immediately if the condition to operate the compressor is met, and a heater operates after a predetermined time delay if the condition to operate the heater has been met, whereby the variation in the temperature of a storage chamber caused by the immediate sensing of low temperature and the operation of the heater thereby can be reduced, so the flavor and freshness of the kimchi can be enhanced.
