Tonys Grain Mill Update, Its Electric Now

[Tony]

Well i added a 2 speed 240v 1Phase motor

The pullys are a 1.25" on the motor and a 12" on the mill.

This gibes me about 90 RPM on low speed and 140 RPM on high.

I tipped 250g JW pils malt into it on low speed and it cracked it in 3 seconds.

The hasks where still whole anr the crack was fine for a high efficiency.

gap was 0.9 to 1mm.

this equates to 5 kg cracked in 1 min.

And i havn't tried it on the high speed yet

here are some pics

cheers and no more sweat

Hopper and base are made from craft wood.
The grain isnt in it long enough to wory it, believe me.
The cracked grain goes into s plastic bin in the base.
