Market leaders in the supply of pelleting consumables, CFE Group is the UK and Irish Agent for CPM (California Pellet Mill Co.), global leaders in the manufacture of pelleting process equipment whose function is to condition, pasteurise and densify raw material in pellet form at capacities up to 30 tonnes per hour. CFE’s engineering plant at Haydock is regarded as one the

provider and customer. CFE benchmark themselves to provide a solution for customers that will maximise machine up time and increase throughput per hour on both feed types with the best possible kilowatt performance per tonne. CFE sees the drivers for growth coming from hygienic food


foremost facilities in Europe for refurbishing pelleting consumables. Determined to deliver the highest standards and greatest value to its customers, CFE has invested £1.5m in sustainable patented technology over the past number of years. CFE has worked closely with Danish company, O&J Hojtryk, to develop a unique water-pressurised cleaning, washing, grinding and countersinking system that adds greater accuracy, efficiency and sustainability across the whole die and roll refurbishing process, without the requirement to heat water or use chemical additives. Its wealth of expertise, coupled with the quality and reliability of this state-of-the-art equipment, guarantees the very best product and value on cost-of-ownership to its customers. Based on the principle that “its customers are its partners in


industry” and, ever mindful that CFE must devise products that will grow our business, it developed the “Cost per Tonne” product. This is a solution designed to deliver a complete support package for mills, including planned & emergency maintenance across all machine types and brands at the pelleting station, the provision of OEM consumables, OEM wearing and moving spare parts, a full refurbishing service, mentoring and training expertise for mill staff, emergency support service and stock control and reporting via portal. Predictability on cost is a key risk management requirement and CFE’s CPT product is an insurance policy which affords customers a means of fixing costs against production to achieve its targets of increased throughput per hour, reduction in down time and efficiency in operations and budget control. CPT operates as a fixed term contract with the agreed price expressed in terms of the number of tonnes produced annually. It’s built on a partnership, where CFE works with its customers. They bring experience, expertise, reliability, quality and product excellence to the customer table to secure certainty for feed producers, essential to the success of their business. CFE’ core equipment sales business is focused on two areas


of pellet production, hygienised feed and ruminant feed, and it has a very strong pipeline in these areas. CFE has a clear business model. As agents for global leader CPM, they not only sell well-designed, well-engineered robust machinery, they identify the line requirements and provide process solutions for production challenges at the pellet station. They also work as the valued local presence for equipment

production and from the growing demand for increased throughput in ruminant food production. The up-scaling of the dairy herds in Ireland and the UK means that they are near capacity in the peak months. CFE sees reduction of kilowatt per tonne as the other key driver across the UK and Ireland and it believes that the best way to achieve a reduction is to increase throughput of lines and maximise machine uptime. CPM’s research and development into pelleting technologies for hygienic food production and optimization of the feed conversion ratio has seen the introduction of revolutionary equipment in the poultry market such as the Hygieniser and Hot Start Conditioner. CFE has installed this equipment in mills throughout the UK and Ireland. It recently completed a project involving a new hygienic feed production line in the UK, which is yielding an average of 12 tonnes of hygienic feed per hour. CFE is now mindful of two things. The world’s population is


growing and its demand for protein is growing with it. This will have a major knock on effect on the poultry and dairy businesses. Business needs certainty and Brexit will certainly present its challenges in the UK and Irish markets. CFE believes that the border issue will be a major challenge. Environmental issues such as pollutants and animal welfare will continue to prevail, and CFE questions how farmers, as stewards of the countryside, will manage to incorporate their function as stewards with their commercial role. CFE Group is committed to increasing the CPM footprint with installations of hygienic poultry and pig feed conditioning equipment and direct drive high output ruminant pellet mills. One of its goals, since inception, has been “to be the mentor


that customers want to do business with”. CFE has developed, won and expanded business on the ethos of trust-based relationships and providing tailor made valued and sustainable solutions to customers. It firmly believes in honesty of performance and views itself as a partner with its stakeholders: employees, customers, suppliers, institutional providers and neighbours. “The food industry is a global boomer. We are in the food chain, at the back, but there nonetheless. The future looks bright for CFE.” CFE Group looks forward to the Victam exhibition in 2019. The
