Mix Mill brand soybean cooker

J Eaton · Mar 19, 2014

Anyone have any experience with one of these?
I haven't seen a picture. I assume it is an add-on for an old mix-mill.
Fellow says it runs on LP and electric.
Any info would be appreciated.
Google's algorithm leaves stuff like this out...

I know nothing about it. But with the open flame/heat required to roast soybeans (very similar to grain dryer) that doesn't sound like something you would want even near a mix mill, or any source of grain dust.

It won't be used with the mill, only to cook beans.
Exploding the beans probably would help the feed value

Ya just gotta know how to ask google the right questions, sometimes. Not that these may be what you want, but...

This one was on offer for $585 in 2012 (may still be)

Thanks, That's what I was after.
I apparently need to work on my Googling skills.
I guess like everything, you just have to know how to talk to it.

Looks just like one BIL had at his dairy. Royal PITA. Always some kind of trouble, burned out heating elements, bearings, burned wires, you name it. RUN DON'T WALK AWAY.

As a dairyman I never got excited about the concept....just kept buying SBM. Start-up, shutdown, heat temps.....lotsa burned or under-cooked beans....on a farm scale....never saw the value in doing my own. Just another concept that never caught on...might have been good, but not for the average Joe.
