Pellet Mills
CFE Group supplies CPM pellet mills, the world's largest manufacturer's range, designed for feed, biomass, and oilseed industries. These mills ensure high throughput, energy efficiency, and consistent pellet quality. Our solutions include specification support and spare parts.
Die Refurbishment
Our UK facility uses automated water jet and CNC technology to unblock holes, resurface dies, and countersink for optimal performance. This extends die lifespan while maintaining pelleting efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Maintenance Contracts
We offer fixed-price annual service contracts for CPM, Milltec, and Paladin presses. These include planned maintenance, wear monitoring, and 24/7 support to minimise downtime and ensure equipment reliability.
Cost Per Tonne Consultancy
Our CPT Contract provides cost benchmarking, quarterly performance reports, and free consultancy to optimise consumable usage. This helps clients reduce production costs while maintaining quality standards.
Roller Refurbishment
We refurbish roll assemblies using semi-automated equipment, replacing worn components with OEM parts. This process improves roller performance, extends lifespan, and ensures consistent pelleting quality.
