Metton milling machine for the agri-food industry

Metton, a skimmed milk curd, is mainly used to make Cancoillotte, a cheese made from cow’s milk.

Drawing on its wealth of experience in the agri-food industry, TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES has developed a fully automatic metton milling machine, that incorporates all the required design, manufacturing, development and industrialisation phases.

This state-of-the-art Metton milling machine, with its central, fully automatic control system, complies with the strictest European regulations on hygiene, safety and environmental protection.
It can be easily dismantled to facilitate cleaning, and with a capacity of 1,000kg/hour, it can grind a wide range of Metton blocks of up to 65kg.
The milling machine can be configured to the required grain size. Packaging of the finished product is adapted according to the required weight upon exiting the conveyor system.

The milling process, operating efficiency and overall ergonomics of the machine have been optimised following an in-depth series of prototype and operating tests under normal conditions of use.

In late 2019, a wide range of design, development and manufacturing work was carried out by TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES - see the following articles for more information:
