Grain Mill

[Frenzel]

Just finished my copy of Gav's roller mill with a bit of a different hopper

 

[pbrosnan]

Very nice work particularly the timber. No motor?

Looks Great!
My next project will be something like this. What are the rollers from? Stainless? Mild Steel? ..

UH OH, DOBBED ON! Those bottles are strictly marked to be used by <insert water vendor> only!

Looks nice though, have you used it? I have a hand operated cold press juicer and even 500mL tires my arm, I can imagine ~6kg of grain will get you pretty Arnold in no time!

EDIT: You have a really nice looking workshop too.

Nice Frenzel ,

But have you tried to crush grain in it .?

Without cross hatched knurling mine would not pull the grain into the rollers it broke my heart

Im interested to know how the slots and grooves came to be on those rollers.

Great looking grain mill.

Shame with the blue water hopper you have wont utalise the full length of the rollers, or does it spread out.

How do you stop uncracked grain jumping over the rollers?

Build a hopper like this

cheers

No motor yet but after a couple of batches no doubt that will be the next project.
Rollers are mild steel 50 x 200mm. I have only done a test a run with 200g of grain and the rollers had no trouble pulling it threw.
The hopper is a temp will build a wood one soon.

I didnt have access to a nurling tool so first i cut a thread then with the lathe off i wound the tool across at the same depth as the thread fairly slow process about 30mins per roller.
Hopper like yours is coming soon!
