OIL PRESS UPDATE, 9/10/2008

MORE PRESSES ARE HERE AND READY TO SHIP TO YOU. THE QUALITY IS TERRIFIC.

 SEE THIS FOR DETAILS.

 DON’T PUT  OFF ORDERING. WE WAITED 5 MONTHS TO GET THIS ORDER FILLED AND SHIPPED.

 

ENGINE UPDATE, 7/18/2008

You thinking about getting a Chinese diesel engine?  I’m down to a few, and no idea if or when there’ll be more.

I am down to my last 50 hp 4 cylinder. This beautiful engine won’t last.  Chinese singles are sold out.

Indian engines?  Sorry, that option is gone.

If you’re in Oklahoma, Missouri, South Dakota or New Mexico, this is a great opportunity.

Take control of your energy future

If you can grow field crops, you can grow diesel fuel.

Our presses can free you from the uncertainties of price and supply of diesel fuel.

We can help you with the rest.

Canola and sunflowers are suitable fuel crops. Soybeans work too, but  less oil .
 
Our oilseed presses take those crops and squeeze the oil out of them.

Here's a longer video (30 megs) of an early test run with canola.


30 percent of a canola or sunflower seed can be extracted this way. With soybeans, about 10 percent.
The remainder, called press cake, is a high value livestock feed.  

Vegetable oil can easily be treated to run a lightly modified diesel engine, or can be processed into biodiesel for use in any stock diesel engine.

Biodiesel is also a better alternative to fuel oil, for home heating and commercial boiler fuel.

We offer two sizes of oilseed press, each of them rated in tons of seed/24 hrs

 

6 T press is $4995, you provide an electric motor or engine to drive it. This is the press featured in last year’s Farm Show magazine. 

10T press without motor, $9950

 

I have located a few EPA legal diesel engines. These are Chinese, 22 hp at 2000 rpm, of excellent quality.  They will drive the 6 ton presses.  They are only for stationary use and are placarded for that purpose.

They are $1000 outright, or $750 bundled with an oilseed press.

These won’t last long, I have one remaining

Want to drive a larger press? I have in stock, right now, a skid mounted 4 cylinder 495 engine.  Complete, with radiator, and hand clutch.  Top quality, the best China has to offer.

50 hp @ 2000 rpm.   This will make 30 kw to power your whole place, or run any of the presses with ease. This engine will drive a pair of 10 tonners if you want.  

Here’s a look at a smaller one driving a generator head.  This is my own backup

395 engine, 24 kw head

Interested in the 495? It’s $4500 outright FOB Wichita, or $4000 bundled with one or more 10 ton presses. 

Call me at 316-215-2198, or email me at rgroves@flinthillsdiesel.com. Fair warning, I only have one of these and I doubt we’ll be able to get more under the current regulatory situation.

Our generator heads are very heavy duty and available in 3 kw to 30 kw,  120/240 VAC single phase.

All of our products are cast iron durable, user serviceable, and designed to last a very long time under heavy service.
Call, write or email for details.

We would like to connect farmers who can produce vegetable diesel with diesel fuel users who would buy their crops.

We are also interested in setting up marketing connections between you who are crushing seed and you who want the press cake for livestock.  Contact us if you're interested.

The link  below will take you to a draft version of my oilseed press manual.  When it’s a finished product with pictures and video, it will be awesome.

And I’ll charge you for it.  But you can read the preview now,  for free.
