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 ,
“ 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 .
