I think the problem is that a meat grinder, like a nut grinder, is designed to chop up everything and push it out all together. There are traditional systems used in many places that are similar, but the oily mix after grinding is then wrapped up (in cloth, basket mat'l, etc) and pressed under rocks or with a car jack to separate the oil. Definitely a batch process that way. A continuous oil press needs two very separate outlets for oil and cake. Not saying the grinders couldn't be modified, but that's the nature of the modification you'd have to do. ------------------------ Yahoo!
