The invention solves the problems of mechanisation and automation of hard block cheeses with the use of traditional technology, for a small scale processing. For this purpose, the cylinder (1) is separable from a rectangular bottom (5) and, close to its lower edge, is permanently integrated to a skirt of an axial opening of an upper wall of a rectangular cheese-making mould (2) with a sieve (3). Side walls of the moveable cheese-making mould (2) extend downwards, below the bottom (5), to the interior of the trough (6) with two pneumatic seals (7), (8). The cylinder (1) is vertically moved by a screw-jack (10) from the position where it lies on a bottom (4) to the position of opening the bottom. In the interior of the cylinder (1), there is a baffle (12), with a housing (14) of a stirrer, moved by a jack (16). Under the baffle (12), a sieve (13) is affixed, and there is an axial opening through which the stirrer with rotating blades (26), performing oscillating movements, is introduced to the interior of the cylinder (1). A sieve (23) is affixed to the periphery of a shaft (22) of the stirrer. Directly at the trough (6), there is an elongated, open brine tank (42) having, from the side of the mould (2), a moveable frame (43) immersed in the brine, with slidable brackets (44) having permanently-affixed tray (45) inserted under the lifted mould (2). On the frame (43), a set (48) of elongated cutters and a transverse cutter are installed. In the brine tank (42), a sieve (54) immersing and immobilising cheeses in the brine, and a sieve (55) lifting the cheeses above the brine are installed. The device is particularly suitable for mini cheese dairies at the cowshed as an end of the milking line and allows processing of the milk to hard cheeses immediately after milking.Linvention permet de résoudre les problèmes de mécanisation et dautomatisation de fromages à pâte dure avec lutilisation de la technologie classique, pour un traitement à petite échelle.
