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 lifetime warranty.
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.
