Uh-huh? Well, if you insist, but I said "small", and that's what I meant. Ken's after a kitchen-size press and that might be miniscule, but I'd guess a lot of people would like one of those, as he says, including me. Not too useful for fuel production, but if you've got the seed anyway, nice to be able to crank out some fresh salad oil when you want it. The emphasis of this group is small-scale - for backyarders making their own fuel, small farms, local coops: from our point of view, Third World rural village coops. That's Reinhard Henning's emphasis too, with the Sundhara press that will produce 15 litres an hour, three gallons (60-70 kg/hr). I'd say that's about the maximum of the useful range: that size and smaller, down to about 5kg/hr (Ken's other choice, for fuel). Most drivers use about 10 gallons a week. A local coop might want to make 30-50 gallons a day. If they want more than that they'd run two processors rather than scale it up, same with presses - get another one rather than a bigger one. So, yes, "small". If you think that's miniscule then you're the one who's out of step, you and probably Carlos - savoiapower's 125kg/hr "Tiny Oil Mill" is massive overkill for most of our purposes. The Sundhara weighs 40kg, the "Tiny" press 500kg, it probably costs 7-8 times as much and can't be rigged by a local workshop. Industrial, as Jesse said, not small, certainly not "Tiny".
