CFE GROUP GROWS CPM BUSINESS IN THE UK AND IRELAND CFE has seen exponential growth in the CPM brand since it was awarded the exclusive agency in Ireland and the UK in September 2013.

CFE has delivered 34 machine units into the market in this period and has a very strong pipeline going into 2018. Managing Director, Con Lynch sees the drivers for growth coming from legislation on hygienic food production and growing demand for increased throughput in ruminant food production. The up-scaling of the dairy herd in Ireland means that the Irish market is near capacity in the peak months of March and April. Con sees reduction of kilowatt per tonne as the other key driver across the UK and Ireland and believes that the best way to achieve a reduction is to increase throughput of lines and maximise machine uptime. CPM’s Lineator and Roll Slip Measurement will deliver continuous running time and its direct drive motor, for which CPM are the world market leaders, will deliver a 6% to 7% more efficient performance than its belt driven equivalents.

Eugene Woodbyrne, Enterprise Manager, Glanbia had this to say: “We have been working with CPM now for over a decade. We find their presses to be very well designed, well-engineered and very robust. Our experience shows that CPM presses can be relied on to produce good quality pellets at high throughput rates and efficient

Gary McIntyre, Factory Manager, Moy Park said “Moy Park has invested in the CPM Hyginiser concept because it offers much higher absorption of product, guarantees first in first out and an accurate retention time in Hyginiser.”

Chris Walker, Group Engineering Manager, Duffields says: “Duffields are approaching the end of commissioning a replacement pressline 1. This now features a CPM Hotstart Conditioner, Hygieniser and 7932-11 press. This is a move by the company to produce heat treated, pelleted feeds mostly for the poultry markets and also to increase throughput” Since inception, CFE Group’s goal has been to be the mentor that customers want to do business with.
