Abstract: A tower block cheese forming apparatus and method. Known towers (1) of this type have been limited in height. This tower is of a height substantially greater than known towers and this enables increased through-put. The cheese column of this tower has a height extension (2) or (2a) provided on the perforated column (2) characteristic of these towers with in one embodiment the extension (2a) being free of any drain perforations (4). In a second embodiment the column extension including drain perforations (4). In this latter form the outer casing of the tower is also extended and the tower may be fabricated as a unitary body (1a). In a modification of the invention a column extension (2a) is provided together with a seal (5) which enables adaption of existing towers (1) to an increased height in accordance with this invention.
