The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread Is Better Sliced Bread
Meet the GrainMaker® family. All GrainMaker mills are 100% handmade in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana, U.S.A., and provide a Lifetime Heirloom Guarantee on every part of every mill. The mills easily grind, roll or flake a variety of dry grains and legumes – wheat, oat groats, spelt, corn, beans, dried peas, barley, quinoa, coffee, flax seed, poppy seeds, popcorn, dehydrated vegetables, peanuts, and many more.
Construction is handcrafted of welded and machined steel and metal (no castings) – the hopper guard and two augers are stainless steel; and the grinding burrs are a high-quality alloy. These grinding burrs are an exclusive design of GrainMaker and are easy to clean. The bearings in each mill are sealed ensuring for smooth, maintenance-free operation. The mills have an exclusive adjustable “click and lock” control knob thus allowing the user to choose and easily adjust for coarse to fine grinding. The extended handle allows for better leverage. For faster production, each mill has a pulley that allows for motor, bicycle, or alternative power conversion. A custom-built geared electric motor is available and slides directly onto the shaft without bulky guards, pulleys or belts; or a do-it-yourself motorizing kit is also available letting you use your own electric motor. For the more adventurous types, a bicycle kit can be purchased, which allows you to drive a mill with any standard geared bicycle. GrainMaker mills are powder coated in red with an FDA approved finish making clean-up trouble-free.
The Model No. 99 has a 6-cup hopper, 5-inch burrs and a 12-inch flywheel, perfect for grinding or cracking modest batches of grains; while the largest of the group, Model No. 116, is suitable for larger output, with 6-inch burrs and a 14-inch flywheel. The Model No. 275 Flaker mill rolls and crushes grains using 2-3/4” diameter rollers made of stainless steel. The Flaker mill is a fitting addition to any home brewing or small-scale feed operation. The GrainMaker Sorghum Press is a free-standing press that squeezes sorghum cane into juice. Sorghum is a popular natural sugar substitute that has been used in the U.S. since the 1850s. Sweet sorghum juice that has been pressed is cooked down into sorghum syrup.
Owners Randy and Bonnie Jones’ determination to provide heirloom-quality GrainMaker mills, and a distinguished totally American-made product, is reflected in their continuous commitment to improvement, superior customer service, their 30-day satisfaction guarantee, high-quality construction, and the Lifetime Heirloom guarantee.
