ExPress® Soymeal for Swine Feed Efficiency Insta-Pro International offers a range of benefits to the swine industry, resulting in improved feed quality for swine. These technologies enhance the digestibility of swine feed, leading to improved feed-to-gain ratios and reduced feed intake. Moreover, Insta-Pro’s equipment ensures the production of high-quality ingredients, enabling swine producers to meet the specific dietary requirements of their animals.

US-Grown Soybeans, Optimized: High‑Shear Dry Extruded Full‑Fat Soy for Swine Diets Soybeans remain the world’s leading oilseed and one of the most widely used protein sources in animal nutrition. In swine diets, they are highly valued for their balanced amino acid profile and consistent availability.

Do Enzymes Add Value? ExPress® Soymeal in Swine Diets Diet quality plays a critical role in swine growth, performance, and overall production efficiency. For nutritionists, selecting high-quality ingredients with superior digestibility is key. One ingredient that continues to demonstrate strong value is ExPress® soymeal.

How to Utilize Full-Fat Soymeal with High-Oleic Genetics in Swine Diets In pork production, feed costs account for 70% of total production costs. Producers are investing in technology to boost feed efficiency without sacrificing animal performance and production standards. With the availability of high-oleic soy (HO) increasing, the economic implications of this technology are now being studied.

Meeting Quality and Demand: The Model 9000 Extruder As integrators and high-volume feed mills expand, they need processing systems that can keep pace without sacrificing nutritional quality. Initially debuting in 2020, Insta-Pro’s Model 9000 high-shear dry extruder has continued to answer the call for a higher-capacity solution built with the same nutritional consistency and longevity as previous extruder models.

From Request to Reality: Making Smarter Capacity Decisions I often receive RFQs for new extrusion plants. This, aside from a business card or an email, is the first step in acquiring a new plant. After the initial inquiry, I send a survey form to the customer so they can better explain their needs. I find that often the requests are for more hourly capacity than necessary. Let’s look at an example: Mr. Jones wants to produce 640 tons of product per month.

Part 2 – Understanding Dust Hazards in Oilseed & Grain Processing As we covered in Part 1, dust is an important but less recognized source of danger in processing facilities all over the world. While a single dust ignition event is dangerous, the greater risk often comes from what happens next. In many grain processing incidents, the initial explosion is relatively small.

Process Technician Insta-Pro International is a global leader in the manufacture of extrusion and pressing equipment for processing oilseeds, grains, pet food and fish feed. Our Process Technicians provide service and support to both internal and external customers. They frequently encounter challenges such as troubleshooting, managing tight schedules, and adapting to diverse work environments. The Process Technician position will be located at our Grimes, Iowa Headquarters.

Part 1 – Understanding Dust Hazards in Oilseed & Grain Processing In grain and oilseed processing environments, some of the most serious risks aren’t always visible, like heavy machinery or electrical hazards. Grain dust can pose significant threats to both worker safety and facility integrity if not properly managed. While it’s easy to focus on the goals of the business, like efficiency and product quality, overlooking dust in your operation can have serious consequences.

Why Operator Training (and Retraining) Is Critical to Equipment Performance There’s a common assumption in processing operations: once your team is up and running, the hard part is over. But long-term performance is about ensuring the people operating it continue to learn, adapt, and improve. That’s where training becomes a critical, ongoing investment. Even the most experienced operators can fall into routines over time.
