The free line design

Three documents, built around your product.

This is the same engineering work we do for every paying project — done up front, so you can plan, budget, and compare with real numbers instead of guesses.

Document 01

Line layout drawing

A top-view layout of your line — from forming or feeding through wrapping, cartoning, case packing, and palletizing — sized to your product and your floor space.

Document 02

Equipment list + budget range

Every machine in the line, what it does, and an honest budget range — so you know what this actually costs before any sales conversation.

Document 03

Labor & ROI analysis

How many operators the line needs versus what you run today, what that saves per year, and the realistic payback period for your volumes.

Why manufacturers automate now

The math has changed.

We've walked the floors of dozens of US chocolate and bar plants. The story is the same everywhere: operators are hard to find, harder to keep, and more expensive every year. Automation used to be a capacity decision. Now it's a labor decision.

Your analysis will use your numbers — this is what a typical project looks like:

US line operator, fully loaded$45–55k / yr
Operators replaced by automation2–3
Annual labor savings$100–150k / yr
Typical CFM line investmenta fraction of a comparable European line
Typical paybackunder 3 years

Example figures for illustration. Your ROI analysis is calculated from your product, capacity, and current staffing.

How it works

From product details to line design in three steps.

Step 1 — today

Send your product details

Fill in the form below: product type, size, target capacity, how you pack today. Photos help — you can reply to our email with them.

Step 2 — within 3–5 business days

We design your line

Our engineers draw the layout, spec the equipment, and run the labor numbers for your exact product and volumes.

Step 3 — when you're ready

Review it on a video call

We walk through the design together, answer the hard questions, and show you the same machines running — on real production floors.

If you decide to build the line

You see everything. Before, during, and after.

Recorded FAT test at CFM facility

Recorded FAT before shipping

Every machine runs your product at our facility first. You join by live video, we record everything, and nothing ships until you've signed off.

Live customer project portal

A live project portal

Your project gets its own page: timeline, FAT videos, shipping status, manuals, spare parts list. You always know exactly where things stand.

CFM installation at a US customer facility

On-site installation in the US

Our team flies in, installs the line, commissions it with your product, and trains your operators on your floor.

Remote video support session

Support that picks up

A direct WhatsApp line, remote video diagnosis, and spare parts shipped fast. We publish our real, unedited support sessions on YouTube — because how a supplier handles problems is the only spec sheet that matters.

Where our machines run

CFM machines run every day in US factories — at chocolate makers and bar co-manufacturers like TCHO Chocolate, Kize Bar, Coracao Confections, and Mascot Pecans — producing bars and chocolates sold under brands you'll recognize, including Justin's, JOJO's, and Numi.

Want to hear it from them? Ask us for references — we'll connect you directly with US manufacturers running our equipment.

Who you'll be talking to

I'm Hans. I'll review your line design myself.

I'm the technical sales manager at CFM. I've spent years inside US chocolate and bar plants — designing lines, installing machines on-site, and answering the support line when something needs fixing at 6 a.m.

We only do one thing: production and packaging automation for chocolate and bar products. No bottling lines, no pharma, no everything-for-everyone catalog. That focus is why our customers' second and third machines are easier to sell than the first one.

Common questions

Asked by almost everyone.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

It's free and there's no obligation. We design lines every week as part of our normal sales work — doing it up front simply means both of us find out early whether there's a real fit. If there isn't, you still keep the documents.

We're 6–12 months away from buying. Too early?

That's exactly the right time. A line design with a budget range is what you need for planning, board approvals, and facility decisions. Most of our customers started the conversation long before they were ready to order.

Who installs the machines, and what about support?

Our team installs and commissions on-site in the US and trains your operators. After that you have a direct WhatsApp line to us, remote video diagnosis, and fast spare parts. Every machine passes a recorded FAT test with your product before it ships.

How are you different from other equipment suppliers?

We only build production and packaging lines for chocolate and bar products, front to back — and we sell a running line, not a crate of machines. You can verify that: ask for references and we'll connect you with US manufacturers running our equipment today.
