help,canola seed press needed .

[cj hall]

Hello to All



I have been working on something with a friend of mine for some time and when we found this we were in shock.

We are talking to some area farmers looking for one or more of them to grow Canola or some sort of oil seed to be crushed for oil and then the rest would be used for cattle feed.

we talked to one person in Billings and he told us that thier farm grew 450 arces of Canola this year and they have it in storage we have talked to the owner of the seed and he wants us to show him what need to be done with it to ready it in to a fuel. He says he has 30 plus tons,this could be the start of getting the farmers to grow their own fuel.



What I need is some help getting the right expeller for the job I have seen some single screw expellers and I think maybe getting two or three of them might be the best way of getting this converted to oil and feed.



Any and all thoughts on this would be helpfull I have seen all the expellers on ebay and would be open to buying a used model if I can find them



Thanks for all of your time.

I know a guy who is the head of a VA university's agri. research dept. He has been studying bio and how it could help VA farmers provide an "in-demand" crop. I'll give him a call to see what type of crushers he has investigated. He is mainly working with rapeseed, I believe. Says that it provides much more power than soy. I have given him some "real world" practical info about actually using bio. He has given me some "laboratory" info about tests that he and other real smart guys have done with bio.

There is no such thing as a canola plant. canola stands for "canada oil", it is rapeseed oil.
