About Us
Based in Iowa, Insta-Pro International develops industry-leading equipment for producing chemical-free livestock and poultry feed ingredients, vegetable oils and soy food products. We partner with university and independent researchers to optimize nutritional value for achieving ultimate animal performance. Insta-Pro International is committed to leading the industry around the world in continuously improving quality, output & efficiency for our customers.
Our History
Soybean harvests in the heartland of the United States were abundant, but farmers lacked the ability to process soybeans on-farm into a nutritionally-dense animal feed ingredient. Insta-Pro International® was founded to fill that gap, inventing and patenting the industry’s first high-shear dry extruder. Today, our extruders are utilized around the world to cook, stabilize, sterilize and texturize oilseeds, grains and by-products.
After the success of our first extruder, additional products were developed to enhance and advance extrusion processes, as well as the addition of mechanical oil presses. An extruder and oil press combination created our ExPress® System for chemical-free processing of oilseeds into high-quality meal and oil that can be used in many feed and food applications.
Additionally, we added a medium-shear extruder to our line to produce textured and shaped products such as textured soy protein, pet food and fish feed. Today, more than fifty years later, Insta-Pro International® systems are hard at work on six continents: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
