Adjusting the degree of fineness
For fixing the milling setting there is an adjustment screw on the right-hand
side of the mill. By turning this screw, the degree of fineness can be re-adjus
-
ted at any time during the milling process.
Re-Adjustment of the degree of fineness:
Wheat and spelt can be processed to the finest degree. Rye has higher oil
content and must be processed more coarsely. Oats which are extremely oily
can only be ground. At the same time the degree of dampness or dryness of
the grain is of the utmost importance for the processing results achieved.
1.
The drier the grain and the lower its oil content, the finer you can produ
-
ce your flour.
2.
The higher the oil content and the degree of dampness of the grain, the
coarser you will have to mill.
For these reasons it is impossible to supply the mill with a scale
suitable and
valid for all types of grain and all the different degrees of dampness, allowing
repeatable results.
Only watching the flour spout and touching the flour will give you re
-
liable information as to whether you are using the correct adjustment
setting, or whether it has to be altered.
At a standstill:
Provided there are no grain kernels between the millstones, any adjustment
can be carried out – even when the mill is at a standstill. With the mill turned
on fill the grain into the hopper.
When the mill is switched off and with a full hopper no finer re-adjustment
should be carried out. The grain, which has not yet been processed and is still
between the millstones, will become wedged. This can cause problems when
re-starting the mill.
