| Crown along with the technical expertise to help interpret the results and determine what they mean at full scale.
“ Another important role the center plays is that it gives customers a place to bring their own innovations, test and scale them in a controlled environment, and use our technology to develop commercially viable solutions. That customer-back approach helps shorten the path from an idea to a process that can be implemented at scale.”
Collaborative partner
This Innovation Center provides the perfect opportunity for CPM | Crown to launch its latest development – an advanced new pretreatment technology – in 2027. Leading this development is Bill Morphew, Vice President of Sales for CPM | Crown’ s Liquids Segment. Bill began his career as an engineer and operations leader in oilseed processing plants in North and South America. At CPM | Crown, his roles have included project engineer, sales manager, and commercial director.
“ The new technology addresses several of the most pressing challenges renewable fuel producers are dealing with right now,” Bill says.“ Those challenges include limited feedstock availability, rising processing costs, and the complexity of traditional multi-step pretreatment systems. The new technology simplifies conventional pretreatment into a streamlined process designed to reduce complexity and operating costs, while increasing yields and allowing producers to process a broader range of feedstocks with greater consistency.”
Looking ahead, CPM | Crown remains focused on turning innovation into practical solutions that deliver greater efficiency, sustainability, and value for customers. From Monarc™ and Lifecycle360 to its new pretreatment technology, the company continues to invest in solutions that address today’ s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’ s opportunities. With more than
148 years of expertise behind it, CPM | Crown is well-positioned to lead the next generation of sustainable processing.
“ The biggest thing we want the market
to understand is that our direction is about much more than selling equipment. We’ ve built a strong reputation as a supplier of efficient, reliable unit operations, and that remains an important part of who we are,” Kris affirms, concluding our conversation.
“ If there’ s one message we want to
leave with the market, it’ s that CPM | Crown is becoming an even more focused, collaborative partner. We are commercially informed, technically capable, financially disciplined, locally responsive, and committed to helping our customers drive more value from their products and operations.” ■
