When selecting the appropriate size of stone burr mill you should ask yourself three questions. First, do I have a single-phase or 3-phase electrical supply? Second, what is the voltage of my electrical supply? Third, what is my desired rate of production per hour? Electric motors up to 10-hp may used on either single-phase or 3-phase electrical supplies. Electric motors 15-hp and larger may be used on 3-phase electrical supplies only. The 8 inch stone burr mill is driven by a 1-hp electric motor, the 12 inch stone burr mill is driven by a 5-hp electric motor, the 16 inch stone burr mill is driven by a 7 1/2-hp electric motor, the 20 inch stone burr mill is driven by a 10-hp electric motor, the 24 inch stone burr mill is driven by a 15-hp electric motor, and the 30 inch stone burr mill is driven by a 25-hp electric motor. Electric motors and drives for 50-hertz electrical supplies are available.

Meadows Stone Burr Mills:
|
Meadows 8 inch stone burr mills discharge flour
through a discharge spout that is cut into the bottom of the housings which
surround the millstones. Meadows 12 inch stone burr mills discharge flour
through a discharge spout that is cut into the side of the housings which
surround the millstones. Meadows stone burr mills 16 inch and larger may
be configured so that flour discharges either through a discharge spout that is
cut into the side of the housings which surround the millstones or into a
materials handling fan. The materials-handling fan conveys the flour from
the stone burr mill through a short length of 4 inch diameter pipe into a
materials collector. The flour falls from the materials collector into a
sifter, a bagging system, or a brute. Brutes are containers which may be
used to collect and store flour.
The millstones used in Meadows stone burr mills require regular maintenance which is referred to as dressing the millstones. As millstones wear the lands, or flat surfaces, of the millstone becomes smooth and the furrows become shallow. Dressing millstones is a three step process. In step one the lands of the millstone are cut with a bushing tool so that the lands are made rough. In step two the furrows are cut to their proper depth. In step three the millstones are aligned to one another. Some customers choose to dress their own millstones while others choose to ship or delivery their stone burr mill to our factory to have this service performed. If you choose to dress the millstones yourself Meadows Mills sells the tools necessary to perform the task. If you choose to dress the millstones yourself we recommend viewing our instructional video. You can view part one of the video by following this link and part two of the video by following this link.
Despite centuries of scientific advancement, the age old method of stone grinding remains the best grinding method known. Lower grinding temperatures allow enzyme activity to continue and the stone grinding method provides finer flakes that yield more flavor. Totally natural, live flour with unmatched flavor is the result. Treat yourself or your customers to a wholesome taste that will not be forgotten. The variety of mill sizes available insures that you can select a mill that is perfect for you.
