Self Stacking Cheese Moulds

Self-Stacking Cheese Moulds

WMH have now added self-stacking cheese moulds to their range of farmhouse cheese making equipment.

The new design of tapered moulds have been designed to be used within a vertical cheese press or can be used on their own with the addition of simple weights to the top pressing plate to provide the pressure to squeeze the whey from the curd.

WMH cheese moulds are manufactured from a high grade of stainless steel and all joints are fully welded to a seamless finish for strength and hygiene.

Currently WMH only offer the new design of mould in a single 20kg size but would be happy to manufacture additional sizes if there is demand from cheese makers.
"The moulds and press plate arrived today. They are really incredible, just what I was after." Julie at Tamnagh Foods

A fully automated storage facility will reduce handling costs and improve traceability for an international blue chip pharmaceutical company.

Engineers at Western Mechanical Handling, have developed an in-line storage system which will automatically load trays of blood collection products, hold them for an ageing period of 3 hours then release them for further processing. The store is the second unit that WMH have built and incorporates tray and batch monitoring technology to enable stringent quality controls to be met within the production process.

The current method employed within the factory requires trays to be manually loaded onto pallets and stored on the production floor which is both labour intensive and runs the risk of batches being further processed out of sequence.

Once installed the new system will seamlessly integrate into the existing production line and will run 24/7 processing 400 trays every 3 hours. At 300 tubes per tray "that’s a lot of tubes" said Geoff Eastmond, Design Manager at WMH.

The servo-driven collators are designed to load either collations of single flavours or to collate a mix of up to 3 flavours. The collation unit is designed to run at a rate of 630 stick-packs per minute or 105 cartons per minute.
