When A E Rodda and Son, a Cornwall, U.K.-based creamery, looked for a new depositing machine for its factory, the company’s previous success with a MasoSine pump from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) ensured it returned to the same source for a second unit. This time around, an energy-efficient Certa 100 was recommended to transfer a range of double- and single-cream products from mobile storage tanks to the hopper of the new depositing machine.
A E Rodda and Son has been making Cornish clotted cream since 1890, when Eliza Jane Rodda, great-great-grandmother of the current managing director, Nicholas Rodda, started making the cream in her farmhouse kitchen in the heart of Cornwall. 128 years later, the company still maintains many traditional methods of manufacturing. A E Rodda campaigned to get protected status for this Cornish delicacy, and in 1998, it was awarded Protected Designation of Origin status, along with the likes of Champagne and Parma ham.
