As demand grows for affordable and sustainable protein sources, extrusion technology plays an important role in developing plant-based protein products.

Texturised vegetable protein and protein-rich meals can be produced from ingredients such as soy and other plant proteins, creating opportunities for food manufacturers to serve changing consumer needs.

A Food Manufacturing Plant Is a 20-Year Decision

When a company invests in a food manufacturing facility, it is making a decision that will influence its future for decades.

The investment extends far beyond the purchase of equipment.

It affects:
• Product portfolio strategy
• Market positioning
• Brand development
• Human resource requirements
• Operational capability
• Future expansion opportunities
• Long-term profitability

Many suppliers can provide machinery.

Far fewer can provide the knowledge, experience, and support required to help a project succeed over its entire lifecycle.

Before selecting a technology partner, management teams should ask:
Can they support product development?
Can they assist with pilot testing?
Can they help train operators?
Can they provide commissioning support?
Can they assist when challenges arise years after installation?
Can they help us expand into new products in the future?

The true value of a technology partner is often measured after commissioning.

That is when real production begins.

That is when operators face new challenges.

That is when product optimisation becomes important.

At CFAM, we view every project as the beginning of a long-term relationship rather than the end of a sales process.

Because our success is directly linked to the long-term success of our clients.
The best projects are built on trust, collaboration, and shared goals.

Not All Screws Are Created Equal!

Two screws. Greater flexibility. More possibilities.

When it comes to extrusion, screw configuration plays a crucial role in how raw materials are processed and how the final product takes shape.

From improved mixing and greater process control to the flexibility to work with different formulations, twin-screw extrusion offers valuable advantages for food and feed manufacturers.

But what makes twin-screw technology different, and how can it benefit your production process?

Discover the engineering behind the technology in our latest blog!

Let’s turn your ideas into real food solutions.

From product development and pilot trials to process design, training and scale-up support, every successful value-addition journey needs the right partner.

At CFAM, we help food manufacturers move from concept to implementation with practical technology, technical support and industry experience.

Let’s start the conversation about your value addition journey.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming first-year Industrial Engineering students from North-West University to CFAM Technologies. 🎓⚙️

The visit gave the students an opportunity to step beyond the classroom and experience engineering in action — from manufacturing and production processes to the technology and teamwork behind our extrusion solutions.

It is always rewarding to engage with the next generation of engineers and share a glimpse of what a career in industry can look like.

Thank you to the NWU students and lecturers for visiting CFAM. We hope the experience sparked curiosity, questions and inspiration for the journey ahead.

From opportunity to implementation.

Successful food manufacturing is not built on one decision alone. It takes the right product, proper pilot testing, consumer validation, confident scale-up, and investment in people and skills.

When product, process and people come together, ideas can become real food solutions — and strong businesses can be built.

What does your feed really cost once it reaches the fish?

The price per bag or tonne is only part of the equation. What matters more is how efficiently that feed converts into healthy, marketable fish.

In our latest blog, Prof LJ Grobler looks at the key measures of aqua feed performance — including FCR, growth, survival, feed waste and the cost per kilogram of fish produced.

A cheaper feed can become the more expensive option if it results in poorer conversion, slower growth or greater waste.

The real measure of feed value is not the price of the feed — it is the performance it delivers on the farm.
