Abstract
A portable assembly for supporting stacks of cheese hoops in an inclined position from the vertical and including means for pressing the stacked hoops so as to press the whey therefrom and permit it to drain downwardly from one hoop to the other where it is collected by means of an inclined floor. The frame includes support members for removably but firmly holding the stacks of hoops as they are being pressed by cylinder and piston units located at the top of the assembly. Control means are provided for actuating the units in extending or contracting directions.
