Objects of the present invention are to provide a continuous
emulsification process and equipment therefor in which exact viscosity is
measured inline and production conditions are controlled automatically,
and a continuous production method for process cheese type and equipment
therefor. The present invention provides a continuous production method
for process cheese type in which process cheese type ingredients are
agitated and emulsified with any agitation intensity by an agitation bar
4 while heating in the vessel which is applied with fixed back pressure,
the process cheese type is flowed and held in a holding pipe 7 for a
certain period and thereby the process cheese type is cooled, and then
the cooled process cheese type is molded and filled and a process cheese
type product 13 is produced, wherein a transducer of an oscillating
viscometer is immersed in the process cheese type during holding or after
cooling such that the transducer is not directly contacted with the
process cheese type; and wherein agitation intensity of the agitation
device and/or back pressure applied to the vessel is adjusted such that a
detected value of the transducer becomes near a target value which is set
in advance, and thereby production conditions are controlled
automatically so that the viscosity of the process cheese type during
holding or after cooling becomes near a target viscosity.
