A drainage-finishing table can be used to pre-press the curd and drain the whey and cut blocks that fit into a particular size of cheese mold.
The manual drainage-finishing table is made to fit to the capacity of curd in the cheese vat.
The curd can flow by gravity from the the cheese vat to the drainage-finishing table if the cheese vat is placed on a platform, or the curd can be pumped to the cheese vat with a special low speed curd pump.
