Grain Mills: keeping the grain in your own hands
Milling your own grain puts two things back under your control that are otherwise decided for you: the fineness and the timing. Freshly ground corn carries more aroma than flour that has sat in a bag for months, and in the feed trough the right grind makes a real difference. Our NOVITAL grain mills handle wheat, rye, barley, oats and maize, and interchangeable screens let you set them up for whatever you need.
Two mills for different volumes
The Golia with 750 watts is the stronger of the pair and works with a dust-tight 18-litre bucket. That helps when larger quantities come through regularly: the meal drops straight into the container and the kitchen or feed room stays clean. The Davide with 550 watts is more compact, copes with all the usual cereals and is enough for day-to-day needs in a smaller herd. Both are hammer mills, so the grain is beaten apart and drops through the fitted screen as soon as it is fine enough.
Screens, blades and maize shellers
The screen sets the grind. With 1 millimetre you get fine meal, with 1.5 millimetres the coarser material that is usual for pig and poultry feed. Screens and blades are wearing parts and can be reordered singly, so a spare set on the shelf saves you a standstill in the middle of the job. For maize there are also shellers that strip the kernels off the cob before they go into the mill, worked by hand and needing no power.
Frequently asked questions
Which screen size should I choose?
The 1 millimetre screen for baking meal and fine feed, the 1.5 millimetre one for coarser meal for pigs or poultry. Swapping them takes only a few minutes.
Can I mill maize with it as well?
Yes. Whole cobs need to go through the sheller first, though, because only loose kernels belong in the mill.
How do I keep the mill in good shape?
Knock it out after milling and store it dry. Replace blunt blades and worn screens in good time, or the output will drop off noticeably.
Grain mills and shellers for farm and kitchen
Milling your own pays off as soon as grain passes through regularly, for baking just as much as for feeding. The NOVITAL Golia with 750 watts works with a dust-tight 18-litre bucket and is built for larger quantities, while the Davide with 550 watts is more compact and handles all the usual cereals too, from wheat and rye to barley, oats and maize. Both are hammer mills, and the fitted screen decides the grind: one millimetre for fine meal, one and a half millimetres for coarser feed. Spare screens in both sizes and spare blades are available separately, so a single wearing part never brings the whole job to a halt. For maize there are hand-operated shellers as well, stripping the kernels off the cob without any power supply before they go into the mill.
