Innovative Mill Technology

With  a  KoMo  mill,  the  user  simply  rotates  the 
grain hopper along a scale to the desired degree 
of  fineness,  continually  adjustable  from  very 
coarse to very fine. Should the millstones wear 
down slightly after a decade or so, simply rotate 
the hopper just a little more in the 'fine' direc-
tion.  No  need  for  troublesome  re-adjustments. 
You  can  also  access  the  milling  chamber  in  a 
flash without a tool. Just rotate the hopper about 
two full turns in the 'coarse' direction, and the 
hopper comes off, giving you access to the mill-
ing chamber.

 
Social responsibility

We  have  worked  hand-in-hand  for  many  years 
with the sheltered workshop program located in 
the heart of the Austrian Tyrol, providing employ-
ment and financial independence to individuals 
with  and  without  disabilities.  This  non-profit 

organization  employs  modern  management 
techniques  and  the  latest  precision  machinery 
to manufacture our wooden housings. The pro-
gram, designed and overseen by Peter Koidl, has 
recently  expanded  to  include  the  assembly  of 
the bulk of our mills. This allows us to concen-
trate more on the design, engineering and sales 
re-quirements of our business.

The folks who assemble our housings and mills 
take enormous pride in their work. We are proud 
to offer our support and energy, and to lend our 
name, to such a worthwhile and successful so-
cial project.

Quality control

We work with people we trust, so that our mills 
run as they should. 
Peter Koidl has been closely associated with the 

sheltered workshop program in Austria for many
years. He advised them in the initial layout and 
equipping  of  their  production  and  assembly 
facilities.  He  also  utilized  this  company  to  as-
semble  his  earlier  line  of  Penningberger  grain 
mills.  He  developed  highly  detailed  production 
sequences  for  every  aspect  of  the  assembly 
work. This close relationship has continued and 
expanded  on  behalf  of  KoMo.  Peter  visits  the 
workshop weekly to oversee the quality control 
and testing procedures.

Good design and engineering alone do not en-
sure  a  high-value,  quality  product.  Our  grain 
mill  pioneer,  Peter,  knows  this  from  long  years 
of  practical  experience.  Also  imperative  are  a 
sound,  carefully  conceived  assembly  program 
and well-managed production facilities to make 
a product that will provide consumer utility and 

joy over many years. Workshop employees have 
come  to  trust  and  rely  on  Peter's  advice  and 
involvement in their daily operations.
