Insta-Pro Intl – Desmet
Collaborating to bring industry leading expertise & equipment solutions for large scale processing soybeans and high oil bearing seeds, such as sunflower & rapeseed. Insta-Pro Intl has certified Desmet RoseDowns Sterling press for use in Insta-Pro ExPress® Systems.
How Does It Work?
High-Shear Dry Extrusion
Raw oilseeds enter the extruder and undergo severe mechanical shearing, exiting the extruder a complete rupturing of plant cells occurs. This process turns raw oilseeds into full-fat meal, a flowing outlet material with easily available oil. The high-temperature/short-residence-time in the extruder is critical, ensuring optimal deactivation of anti-nutritional factors while increasing protein digestibility.
Oilseed Pressing
Once in the screw press, the friction placed on the full-fat meal inside the press cage will allow for maximum extraction rate ending up with ExPress® press cake/meal as low as 6% residual oil. ExPress® meal is a nutrient dense feed ingredient known for its increased performance in the production of meat, milk & eggs.
Foots Recovery & Oil Clarification
Oil recovered at the outlet of the press contains suspended solids. After the decanting stage, where most of them are removed, the oil is filtered and cooled before storage and decanted solids returned to meal stream.
Cake Cooling
The hot cake, discharged from the press & is cooled before storage in a vertical or horizontal cooler using counter-current airflow.
Specie Benefits
Raw Materials
Besides soybean, extrusion-pressing of high oil-bearing seeds like sunflower and rapeseed remains the most efficient solution for solvent-free, steam-free extraction. This process encompasses pre-press stage followed by the ExPress® System.
ExPress® System - Soybean Meal
Press-ExPress® System - Sunflower & Rapeseed
Advantages
Equipment
The ExPress® System couples a high-shear dry extruder from Insta-Pro Intl and Desmet RoseDowns Sterling press specifically designed to reduce anti-nutritional factors while keeping protein integrity in ExPress® meal, resulting in high-oil yield and enhanced protein digestibility.
