Walder Mfg.: “Crush And Roast” Beans For Profit
Walder Mfg. has been very successful in marketing oil screw presses for farmers and the commercial market. With the high price of beans, you have to have a lot of benefits to sell a system to farmers. For the dairy industry, pressed meal is far superior to chemically-produced meal. The best indicator is the bottom line. Walder customers see butterfat increases from 3.7% to 4.2% because the crushed bean meal is more digestible. Milk production is also slightly increased.

    Walder Mfg. designed a double press systems for soybeans for better bypass protein, more oil (over one gallon per bushel), and double output capacity over single pressing.

    “What’s new for this year?” Walder Mfg.designed a roaster behind the press to destroy Trypsin. “By raising the meal to 240 degrees for 20 minutes, we achieve a test of 1.0 urease/ph rise on trypsin. The roaster is made out of a jacketed auger with oil surrounding the meal at 350 degrees control with electric thermostats. This makes a commercial grade meal safe to feed hogs and poultry – two markets we could not sell to before.

Walder Mfg. designed the roaster because the pre heated meal is more efficient and the oil is higher grade. The roaster allows farmers with non GMO beans or organic farms to process their own soybeans taking care of the Trypsin, therefore the ability to feed hogs or poultry. A bonus for farmers as they are able to use the meal for feed and have the oil to burn or sell. The roaster sells for $7,500 and will keep up with 6-ton presses.

Walder Mfg. has experience crushing sunflower, flax, canola, camellia , mustard,

soybeans, milk thistle , cotton seed and pecans. Walder Mfg., sells 2, 6 ,8 and 20-ton

presses with about $1,000 per ton. An impressive stat to know about the presses is that the 20-ton press produces 864 gallons of oil in 24 hours.

The Walderʼs also make food grade updates. Mark and Ed Walder also operate presses on their farm and in the last three years they have burned over 10,000 gallons

of bio diesel in all there diesels, even in rail-injected engines with DEF and particulate filters.
