Abstract

The present invention relates to a system (1) for the surface cleaning of a wheel of cheese (2) comprising a cheese rind (3), rigid or semi-rigid, which encloses an edible paste, said system (1) comprising: - treatment means (4) suitable for cleaning the rind (3) of a wheel of cheese (2); - handling means (5), suitable for generating a relative motion between a wheel of cheese (2) and the treatment means (4), wherein the treatment means (4) comprise first supply means (6), of a liquid, and second supply means (7), of a fluid in the gaseous state, suitable for dispensing a first jet (8), of a liquid, and a second jet (9), of a fluid in the gaseous state, respectively, which hit, at the same time, two regions (10, 11), respectively, which are contiguous, of the rind (3) of a wheel of cheese (2) which is in relative motion with respect to said treatment means (4) by the action of the handling means (5), wherein the handling means (5), the first supply means (6) and the supply means (7) are configured in such a way that a region (10) of the rind (3) of a wheel of cheese (2), in relative motion with respect to the treatment means (4) by the action of the handling means (5), is hit firstly by the first jet (8) and, after a predetermined time interval (Δt), by the second jet (9). The invention also relates to a method for the surface cleaning of a wheel of cheese (2) comprising a rind (3), rigid or semi-rigid, which encloses an edible paste, comprising the following steps: - generating, by handling means (5), a relative motion between the wheel of cheese (2) and treatment means (4) comprising first supply means (6), of a liquid, and second supply means (7) of a fluid in the gaseous state, suitable for dispensing a first jet (8), of a liquid, and a second jet (9), of a fluid in the gaseous state, respectively; - hitting a same region (10) of the rind (3), during the relative motion, firstly with the first jet (8) and then, after a predetermined time interval (Δt), with the second jet (9).
