A new mill is going into place here at Beerbelly very soon.....and it's going to be a Mill master. I've been using a Crankenstein 3D (non stainless rollers) for about a 3 years now and I think it's had it's day. The crush was fantastic to begin with, but of late we have been having issues with it not pulling the grain through reliably, so every now and again with some grains it just sits there spinning the driven roller but not the passive one. Complete pain in the ass, and I don;t seem to be able to remedy it. I wasn't particularly impressed with the build quality when it arrived either to be honest, considering what it cost.
So I'm about to build a complete new mill stand around the new Millmaster hoping it's up to the job for the next few years (which I'm sure it probably will be). I'll most likely be using a 1/4hp motor that has a reduction box dropping it down to 103rpm to drive it, just like the crankenstein. It has a huge amount of torque but if that doesn't shift it I'll put a 3 phase motor on it :lol:
