Company Profile

A.T. Ferrell Company Inc. is a long-standing manufacturer with roots dating back to 1869. Over more than a century and a half, Ferrell-Ross has evolved into a leading provider of material reduction and processing equipment, headquartered in Bluffton, Indiana. The company’s lineage includes key milestones, such as the 1892 relocation to Saginaw, MI; the 1971 acquisition of Ross Machine & Mill Supply in Oklahoma City; and the 1983 merger with BLOUNT Agri-Business Industrial Group, which positioned Ferrell-Ross at its current Bluffton home. In the modern dimension, A.T. Ferrell focuses on designing and manufacturing a broad spectrum of milling and processing solutions that are sold and serviced worldwide through an extensive dealer network, backed by the Ferrell-Ross engineering group. Ferrell-Ross emphasizes a unique blend of hands-on craftsmanship and contemporary manufacturing techniques, with a strong emphasis on efficiency, design for manufacturing, and advanced control systems developed in-house. The company specializes in a range of equipment including roller mills, flaking mills, and cracking mills, each engineered for reliability, durability, and high-capacity operation. Ferrell-Ross Cracking Mills gently reduce whole grains and oilseeds into smaller particles, suitable for pre-flaking, pelleting, or further milling, delivering consistent results with minimal maintenance. Roller Mills provide precise particle size reduction with customizable corrugations and roll configurations to support high-throughput grinding of grains and other dry materials. Flaking Mills are designed to handle demanding oilseeds and grains, producing uniform flakes to improve extraction and processing efficiency. Steam Chests, built from 10-gauge 304 stainless steel, ensure appropriate retention time and longevity to support high-quality flakes. Ferrell-Ross offers comprehensive expert services to maximize equipment performance, including on-site installation and commissioning, pre-installation planning, and final calibration. On-site training and technical support from the company’s team empower client personnel with hands-on operation and maintenance knowledge. The Ferrell-Ross laboratory provides free testing of customer product samples, enabling recommendations on models, roll corrugation, and accessories tailored to achieve desired sizing and capacity. The business underscores a global footprint, with manufactured equipment centered in Bluffton but distributed across North America and internationally through a broad dealer network. Ferrell-Ross also emphasizes software development for control systems that support flakers, steam chests, and automated gap control. The company’s continued focus is on delivering value through engineering expertise, customized solutions, and reliable support to food processors, feed mills, and oilseed facilities around the world, reflecting a commitment to quality, performance, and enduring partnerships.
