====== Moulding machines ======

Expansion of production and technical  progress in general led to construction of the first hand-driven {{:29_schachuv_stroj_formovani.jpg?linkonly|moulding machines}}, referred to around 1900, which were used even for other types of cheese. Their capacity was up to 10,000 pieces per hour, but only in the case of more {{:30_rucni_formovacka.jpg?linkonly|progressive machines}}. Many curd cheese producers were conservative and claimed that from the machines "... the curd cheese is not so tasty ...". But [[en:kdy_se_vyrabely:historie_vyroby:karel_pivny|Karel Pivný]], successor and son in law of the greatest Loštice curd cheese producer [[en:kdy_se_vyrabely:historie_vyroby:alois_wessels| Alois Wessels]] and his wife did not have any doubts about machine production, and around 1924 they purchased the first moulding machine in Germany, which became a model for the Loštice locksmith [[en:kdy_se_vyrabely:historie_vyroby:frantisek_koegler|Francis Koegler]], who then started production of these machines, and not only for Loštice. A new era in the curd cheese producer world has begun, associated with Alois Wessels descendants.
