3000W Commercial Electric Corn Wheat Grain Mill Grinder (91135605)

Perfect for our application

Once I figured out how to change from the grinding plates to grinding stones I found the Mill Grinder to be excellent in it's operation which is fairly simple. The included Assembly and Operating Instructions are not easily understood.As expected, it does produce some powder leakage and dust in the air... it is noisy, but any grain grinder would be. I suggest using it somewhere other than in your kitchen... maybe a porch or garage. I highly recommend this mill grinder to anyone wanting the best. Preppers and homesteaders... this is the Mill Grinder you should have.I have never worked with a company more customer friendly than Naizea. They have done absolutely everything possible to help me when I was confused by their Assembly Instructions and Operating Instructions. Now that I have that figured out, I am impressed with the quality and operation of the Mill Grinder, but even more impressed with Naizea and their customer service. It is by far the best I have ever dealt with.

Glad I ordered replacement plates in advance, it takes a bit of practice to get these grinders working right. Plates too close? You now have flat plates. **** them on too tight? The plates will crack. Material not 100% dry? You now have gunk/fats between the teeth and have to remove/clean them before continuing.Noise level was loud but understandable for the amount of work it does. I wouldnt use it in my home but a barn/workshop or even garage shouldnt be a problem. When grinding (at least finely grinding) it kicks off a bit of dust and there isnt much you can do about it except sweep up after. This probably depends on what/how fine you are grinding, mine was very dry and very fine and maybe 1-2% was dusted around the area.Cleaning requirements were minimal with dry material, occasionally opened up to scrape off any plant fats/oils that deposited but it never clogged or caused issues once material was dry. If you have a large amount of material you need to reduce to powder this thing will get it done, it can go for quite a while before getting hot. It never overheated but I would get paranoid and let it cool down every 15-20 min when it felt hot. I’d recommend getting some high-temp grease and cleaning/lubing the ball bearing between the adjustment **** and the outer plate occasionally. It isn’t a sealed system so bits of dust get on it (and get burned by the friction i think) so it would get black gunk in there and cause squeaking after a while.Additionally, I wouldnt use these for anything meant to be consumed directly. The plates wear down over time (at least when grinding small, hard seeds which require the plates to be so close they occasionally touch), so the ground-up powder will contain trace amounts of metal from the teeth. I imagine this wouldnt be an issue for softer or coarsely ground materials, but I wouldnt use this for grinding homemade rice flour or something like that.

Grinding corn, loud noise, dislike: unable to lock grinding to one position. Once started grinding, the spindle start to loose the setting position. You have to feed and hold down the grinding spindle so it will not change position grinding. The feeding flange should be aluminum not plastic. My was broken and I have to glue it. They send a replacement but I don’t like it and want to return for a refund but it cost too much for shipping back $150 for shipping back. What a waste.

it really does what it says. we liked
