Making Our Mills
GrainMaker® mills are hand-crafted; formed, not cast, in our Montana machine shop. Our mill is a quality machine, made to deliver years of trouble free service, not a toy.
Every part of the mill including the body, handle, hopper, stainless steel GrainBreaker auger and high quality alloy grinding burrs are made here on-site, so we know we can guarantee the quality. Many of the GrainMaker's parts are machined from solid material, including the dust cover, adjustment knob, main shaft and GrainBreaker auger.
Our GrainMaker® flour mill is made to the same rigid standards we use when making parts for a custom rifle manufacturer, dies for the aerospace industry and other clients. We're very proud to say that our mills come with a Heirloom Guarantee.
We use a GrainMaker® flour mill in our own kitchen, so we understand what customers want in a quality mill:
•Large Hopper. We designed our mill with a large hopper that holds four cups of grain - that’s enough flour to make two loaves of bread.
•Dust Guard. Milling flour creates some dust; we added a guard to keep it down.
•Adjustable. The GrainMaker® mill is adjustable, so you control the coarseness or fineness of the finished product with the simple turn of the locking knob - you never have to grind material twice.
•Easy to Use. We designed our mill with a large flywheel and handle extension to increase leverage so the mill is easy to use. With modest effort, you can expect to output from three-quarters of a cup to a cup and a half of flour a minute when grinding by hand. Note: Some grains and legumes are harder to grind than others; experiment with removing the resistance coil auger to make the handle easier to turn.
•Hand or Motor Driven. The GrainMaker® is a quality hand-powered mill. It can also be motor-driven by removing the extension handle, securely bolting the mill to a solid surface and using an appropriate belt. We recommend a 3/4 hp motor with an imput speed of 1100 RPM's. You will want to use a 1 1/2" pulley on the motor and this will reduce the RPM's down to 165. You want to keep the RPM's below 200.
Every GrainMaker® mill is tested before it is securely packaged to ship. Your mill comes complete and ready to use; the mounting clamp is optional.
