Hand Feed Grinder

To crack corn for feeding to animals. To grind your home grown or purchased grains to flour for use in cooking.

Cast iron grinder base with stainless steel hopper (funnel shaped part). Wooden handle is 4.5" long.

Allows you to create your own flour to be self sufficient and have control over your food supply for increased food safety and a healthier diet. Also allows those with only a few animals that want to provide cracked corn the ability to do so without having to pay for expensive cracked corn.

Once mounted to a table top, make sure to insert the hopper into the top of the cast iron grinder. Now proceed to pour the grain to be grinded into the hopper and turn the handle in either direction for several cranks, study the material coming out and adjust the tension accordingly to obtain the particle size you desire. Tightening the tension produces a smaller end product, loosening the tension results in larger particle sizes.

Be careful to securely fasten the grinder to a table top or something similar. A loose set-up will frustrate and slow throughput. During use, the grinder may not readily turn after several turns due to grain particles wedged between the wheels, a simple quarter/half turn in the opposite direction should free up the grinder and you can proceed turning the handle in the original direction again.
