THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES - TCM SAS - Conception, réalisation et mise en service de machines spéciales

Working in close collaboration with your teams, our highly qualified engineers determine the technical solutions best suited to your specific use. These solutions are analysed, detailed, quantified and drafted. We produce all the mechanical and electrical work drawings and manufacturing documents, develop the automation software, etc. Our technical solutions are developed according to your requirements and technical standards, while prioritising a custom-made product that combines performance and reliability. The feasibility of the selected solutions is systematically reviewed with the manufacturing teams upstream of the production phases. This is one of the advantages to having all of our skilled employees (from the design to commissioning teams) working under one roof

With the close collaboration between our development and manufacturing teams, our full control of the value chain and our expertise in the sector, the testing, development, commissioning and technical acceptance phases are carefully planned and incorporated into the project schedule from the design phase.

TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES, developer of innovations, designs and produces industrial insect breeding, feeding and processing facilities for the agri-food industry. This custom-made automated and semi-automated equipment is designed for insect breeding and processing to produce insect proteins for animal and plant nutrition. These modular units are ideally suited to insect breeding in vertical farms, in fully automated or semi-automated industrial facilities specialising in the production and manufacture of insect proteins

As a result of the geographical location of TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES in the heart of the Vosges, the agri-food industry is one of the four historical sectors of activity that have driven our growth. Among other organisations, we work with the main industrial cheese dairies in the region, which have shown us unfailing loyalty. Beyond special machinery, this collaborative work has helped us to develop specialist expertise in : the use and machining of stainless steel dosing systems for viscous foodstuffs food elevators Applications and projects : conveyor systems stacking systems food elevators process piping robotic units special packaging and wrapping machines dosing workstations cleaning systems control cabinets with PLC Related operations on customers’ sites : maintenance of equipment and infrastructure repairs technical upgrading of existing equipment Safety compliance of existing equipment

As a result of the geographical location of TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES in the heart of the Vosges, the paper industry is also one of the four historical sectors of activity that have driven our growth. We work closely with the main paper mills in the region which, despite the increasing global nature of their business, have still shown us unfailing loyalty. Beyond special machinery, this collaborative work has helped us to develop specialist expertise in : the upgrading of existing production plants to reduce set-up and adjustment times and increase productivity conveyor systems and roller elevators Applications and projects : conveyor systems roller elevators special packaging and wrapping machines the upgrading of existing paper mills to reduce set-up and adjustment times and increase productivity Related operations on customers’ sites : maintenance of equipment and infrastructure repairs

As with the paper industry, because of the geographical location of TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES in the heart of the Vosges woodlands, the wood processing industry is the third key industrial sector that has driven our growth. Among many other customers, we work with the leading manufacturers of MDF panels and reels for the storage and transport of electrical cables Beyond special machinery, this collaborative work has helped us to develop specialist expertise in : the upgrading of existing production plants to reduce set-up and adjustment times and increase productivity conveyor systems wood cutting systems (sawing) wood sanding systems wood nailing and assembly systems Applications and projects : conveyor systems wood cutting systems (sawing) wood sanding systems wood nailing and assembly systems robotic units Related operations on customers’ sites : maintenance of equipment and infrastructure repairs

The textile industry is the fourth key industrial sector that has driven our growth because of the geographical location of TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES in the heart of the Vosges.special packaging, wrapping and labelling machines ergonomic workstations Related operations on customers’ sites : maintenance of equipment and infrastructure repairs technical upgrading of existing equipment Safety compliance of existing equipment Some practical examples : towel packing and labelling unit ergonomic handling workstation
