Sam, Insta-Pro has a system that is exactly in line with this need. I cannot vouch explicitly for yields or mechanical durability. I do know that at some point in time, many of the small grain handlers opt out of Insta-Pro equipment in lieu of Dupps to improve efficiencies.
(I don't believe they would care to hear that.) However, numbers have been crunched for biodiesel production using Insta-Pro extruders and expeller presses for soybeans and profitability is there. PTO models are available. www.insta-pro.com If you are in an area where your meal can be consumed locally - such as a nearby dairy, etc. - you will find this type of venture entirely feasible . If you are selling the feed meal bulk to another distributor, you'll need to keep a keen eye on your buyer and every fraction of a penny offering. You will also need to contend considerably with the high volumes of glycerin byproduct. There are outlets for $0.08 - $0.10 a pound crude glycerin, making it worthwhile to store and transport in bulk.
