I would suggest searching the site for Dutch style presses - I don't have the links at hand.  There are numerous photos and examples of presses handling multiple molds.  I think site member "Sailor Con Queso" has a press where he is doing 4 to 6 molds simultaneously. 

Good luck

Gathered along the way online....

I took the one with the woman as a guide in designing my own Dutch press.

You know when you've said Dutch Cheese Press before I envision one of those single cranks that makes a wedge shaped cheese.  This is a whole 'nother animal.  Nice...

I just stack one on top of the other and press with whatever.

Debi, Do you mean you put curds in the mold wrapped in cheese cloth then another layer of cheese cloth and more curds and so on?
