Maskinfabrikken Cormall A/S

What Maskinfabrikken Cormall A/S does

Maskinfabrikken Cormall A/S is a privately held Danish industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1961 and headquartered in Sønderborg, Denmark. The company designs and produces equipment and turnkey factory plants for four interrelated domains: straw processing (bale breaking, milling, briquetting, pelletizing), animal feed technology (mixers, automated feed kitchens, cable-guided feed robots, belt conveyors), bioenergy (biogas biomass dispensing, second-generation bioethanol and gasification preparation, straw burning), and recycling (plastic, rubber, rockwool, glass wool, and food residue processing).

The company's core technical differentiator is a slow-moving rake technology introduced in 2008 that operates at 65 rpm versus the traditional 3,000 rpm knife rotor, reportedly halving energy consumption while doubling throughput and reducing fire, noise, and wear risks. A second architectural pillar is a diagonal 28-degree mixing design using dual augers that lifts material into a 'molehill' and relies on gravity for fall-back, enabling light and airy feed and biomass mixes. These principles underpin the Multimix MTX feed mixer line (3–50 m³), the MTX_B biomass dispenser (up to 10,000 kg/h, AISI 316L stainless for biogas), and straw processing lines ranging from 200 kg/h pilot units to 16,000 kg/h industrial systems.

Cormall sells through enterprise field sales via direct engagement on turnkey plant projects — from budget quote and layout sketch through engineering, assembly, cold testing, commissioning, and staff training — supported by a multilingual website, downloadable brochures, and presence at major European agricultural and bioenergy exhibitions. Revenue derives from hardware sales of individual machines plus professional services tied to full plant delivery, with quotation-based pricing and no public disclosure of financial figures. Customers are project-based industrial buyers across dairy, feed manufacturing, biogas, second-generation bioenergy, and recycling sectors in Europe and select African markets.

Core offering

Maskinfabrikken Cormall A/S develops, produces, and sells industrial machinery and complete turnkey factory plants for straw processing, animal feed technology, bioenergy (biogas, gasification, bioethanol, straw burning), and recycling (plastic, rubber, rockwool, glass wool, food residues). The product portfolio includes standalone machines such as the Multimix MTX feed mixer, Multifeeder cable-guided feed robot, belt conveyor feeding systems, MTX_B biomass dispenser for biogas, straw mills (HDH/LSM), and bale breakers, delivered as individual units or fully integrated plants.

Product overview

Maskinfabrikken Cormall A/S is a Danish industrial machinery manufacturer (established 1961) offering a portfolio of hardware systems for straw processing, animal feed management, bioenergy production, and material recycling. The core product lines include the Multimix MTX feed mixer series (available in sizes from 3-50 m3) for dairy and horse feeding, the Multifeeder V4 cable-guided feed robot for automated feeding, and belt conveyor feeding systems. Straw processing technology encompasses bale breakers (SBB series), straw mills (HDH/LSM with slow-rotating rake technology achieving 50% energy reduction), and complete processing lines for capacities from 100 kg/h to 16,000 kg/h. Bioenergy solutions include biogas equipment (MTX_B biomass dispenser up to 10,000 kg/h), straw burning systems (200-5,000 kg/h), gasification equipment, and bioethanol preparation systems. The recycling technology line includes mixers for food waste (candy/bread), plastic/rubber recycling, and Rockwool/glass wool insulation processing. These systems integrate with components including ventilators (200-40,000 m3/h), stone traps, cyclones, filters, and dust extraction equipment. The product architecture is modular, allowing customers to configure complete turnkey plants for specific applications.
