CPM’s Planet Dryers Line Continues to Offer Innovative Solutions
In one of Peterborough’s foremost business parks, two hours north of London sits one of the giants in the Dryer manufacturing industry. Planet Dryers, a member of the CPM family of brands, is known for its high-quality range of specialist equipment, sleek designs, sanitary innovations and operational efficiency.
“Every piece of equipment we make, we do it with the customer’s needs in mind,” said CPM Operations Manager Ross Vinten. “We take a lot of pride in our brand, designs and build quality.”
One design has stood out above the competition and keeps on improving. The Triple Pass Dryer is the line’s top selling machine and can be found in snack extruder lines around the world. The Triple Pass Dryer works with a wide range of applications, including extruded snacks, nuts, rice cakes and breakfast cereals.
“It’s a modern design, focused on hygiene for food, and driven by customer feedback,” Vinten said. “Each machine provides excellent drying performance ensuring a uniform product which is fully tested and validated. The laboratory SAT testing at factory sign-off yields process performance figures right in the centre of the target range, which is great for everyone involved”.
Being flexible and solution oriented are also traits of the Planet Dryers line. When one large-named customer wanted to improve their sustainability standing, the Triple Pass electric version was offered: aptly known as the TPe.
“It’s about giving the customers more options and proving that we have an adaptable design, while maintaining performance,” Vinten said.
Previously purchased gas-powered machines can be refurbished to electric, and by design, a customer could switch between both power sources. Planet Dryers is very much focussed on continued innovation and development of the range, and as such, new R&D exercises are being carried out on a Hydrogen design, known as the TPh.
“You’ve got to continually deliver to the needs of the market and strive to excel. That’s why we’re the best in class and a recognised standard in extruded snack lines globally,” Vinten said.
