CPM Wolverine Proctor has been supplying processing machinery to the food industry since early last century and continues to do so, on a global basis. Customers are becoming progressively more reliant on the company as a system supplier, partly because they have had to reduce their own staff numbers to remain competitive.

As a consequence, CPM Wolverine Proctor has increased its engineering resources across the board, bringing in new design initiatives and process knowledge, allowing it to draw on experiences that may have come from other applications and enabling the company to offer a truly turnkey supply.

CPM Wolverine Proctor’s continuing drive to be the preferred machinery supplier means that it talks to customers about what they like and dislike, listening to their ideas and identifying the customer’s priorities for their business. Only then can CPM Wolverine Proctor hope to meet and exceed their expectations in terms of machine performance, longevity, product flexibility, price and other important capital equipment issues.

Over the years, CPM Wolverine Proctor has supplied a wide range of machines for drying meat and protein-based foodstuffs. These have included beef and chicken jerky products as well as pet food treats and have utilised CPM Wolverine Proctor’s batch tray/truck dryers right up to multi-stage conveyor dryers running several tonnes per hour. The company’s test facilities in the UK and USA enable it to work with customers to develop new processes and test the exact drying characteristics of each product under various conditions. This ensures that CPM Wolverine Proctor offers the most appropriate machinery and process solution so would recommend that every customer takes advantage of this.

CPM Wolverine Proctor’s policy of continuous development means that it is always striving to improve its product range and if it sees an opportunity to develop something new for a particular application, the company takes it.

CPM Wolverine Proctor is currently working on a patented automatic chain lubrication system which can be applied to any dryer – this system is PLC-controlled and can be programmed to feed controlled amounts of oil directly on to the parts of the chain that need it most, at specific times, thus saving large amounts of lubricant and extending the operating life of the chains.
