INTRODUCTION
Western Mechanical Handling began
supplying farmhouse cheese making
equipment in the 1980’s with specific
requests from a local Cornish company.
This involved working closely with the
owner on numerous ideas to develop his
dairy, including the design and
manufacture of cheese presses, mills,
curd knives, a curd agitator and numerous
smaller items required for an expanding
farmhouse cheese manufacturer.
Cheese presses, moulds and peg mills
have been the main supply of WMH, but
each cheese-maker has their specific
requirements, depending on the type and
size of cheese, the amount they produce
and the size and shape of their dairy.
WMH have worked for many years with
dairies in the UK and Ireland catering for
their individual needs and now have a
range of items specifically suited to the
small scale farmhouse cheese producer.
All WMH units are manufactured from
stainless steel and other food grade
materials. All joints are fully welded
which offer the best solution for both
strength and for hygiene.
WMH mills and presses are designed with
simplicity in mind to enable busy cheese
makers to operate and maintain their
units with the minimum of fuss.
This brochure only contains the larger,
more standard items of equipment. If
you have a requirement for other items
that are not listed, or would like a
modified version of one of the listed
items, please give our sales team a call
on 01579 383788 and they will be happy
to provide you with a quotation.

MOULDS
WMH cheese moulds are available
in a range of sizes to suit both hard
and soft cheese manufacture.
WMH moulds are “top-hat” style
moulds with the base extending
from the sides removing the need
for intermediate pressing plates.
Each mould comes complete with
sliding liner that sits inside the
mould and compresses with the
curd as the cheese is formed.
The WMH range of moulds are
manufactured from stainless steel,
with fully welded seams and joints to
create a very strong and hygienic mould
that will offer you many years of cheese
production.
As an alternative to top hat moulds with
liners WMH can supply parallel sided
moulds with followers which sit inside the
mould to press the cheese, if you would
prefer this style please speak to our sales
team.
If the size of mould you require is not
listed below please give our sales team a
call and they will be happy to provide you
with a quotation for your specific size.
Similarly we are able to manufacture
moulds to different designs and to fit with
other moulds you may already use.
20kg tapered self-stacking moulds are
also available, POA.
