Description

The 3-Roller Monster is meant to compete and win against the best milling products available. With all the great features of the already popular MM-2, and the addition of a third roller, you'll be able to achieve the best crush around, at a higher throughput speed. The MM-3 crushes all your grain twice, with one pass through the mill. It starts with a preliminary crush through the initial fixed gap between the top two rollers, and then ends with a pass through the second gap between the drive roller, and the bottom third roller. The initial pass slightly flattens the grain, and gets it ready for the next crush, that breaks apart the grains and loosens the starch with minimal husk damage.

The MM-3 consists of a 6061 aluminum block frame with three 6" long steel rollers riding on SAE 841 oil impregnated bronze bushings. We use a superior grade of steel that is much harder than what is found on most comparable products and should last almost twice as long. The drive shaft, and all the axles are integral to the roller rather than screwed into the ends. This makes it fine to drive the mill clockwise, or counter-clockwise. All the axles are 3/8", with minimal freeplay in the bushings.

One knurled steel roller is driven by a standard electric drill (not included) to feed the grain through the initial fixed gap of approximately .060", and then through the adjustable secondary gap and crush the grist. Both ends of the non-driven top idler roller ride in bronze bushings that are pressed into the frames, while the second idler roller rides in bushings that are offset mounted in an adjustable knob. The knob is held in a fixed position by a set-screw that you can loosen to adjust the mill. This system provides an adjustment range of .065". Our knobs are made from 303 stainless steel for excellent durability, and are larger in diameter than the competition, as well as knurled for a positive grip. We've also added a groove in our newest design knobs with a matching rounded head on the thumbscrew that allows for a much better grip on the knob to avoid gap changes while milling, and also providing knob retention.

While we recommend a complete package (click here!), if you don't purchase our base and hopper, you will need to fabricate one to feed the grist through the mill. The mill can be mounted above or below the base and attached using the included mounting bolts. You'll also need a high quality corded drill to drive this beast.

Features:

  • Three six-inch steel rollers form two gaps, a preliminary fixed gap of approx .060", and a fully adjustable secondary gap.
  • Dual eccentric adjusters: 0 to .065" secondary gap - built from STAINLESS STEEL for no galling

Not satisfied with the grind at my local brewing supply store

Because I don't have to pay for a silly handle, cheesy hopper, and a unnecessary bottom adapter.

I put over 30,000 lb.s through my previous mill...it was a little tired so I gave it a break!

Every time I use this, the crushed grain binds the lower roller and prevents further grain crush. It's as if the grain falls down both sides and prevents the roller from spinning. I have to stop and clear out the grain just for it to happen again. I've been using, and have gone back to, a 2-roller mill I've had for over 10 years with no similar issue. Any suggestions as to how I can prevent the bind?

BEST ANSWER: we sometimes have a failure to START feeding. We reach under and turn the bottom roller(after shutting off the drive), and it will then crush the batch properly. Once it starts feeding, it completes properly. I'm not sure if this is the same as your problem, but we have no permanent solution.

Very good
This is the second one that I’ve purchased. I have a very strong motor attached to it. One of the bolts in the hopper fell in and got caught in the mill causing the main shaft to bend. I was able to continue milling with a drill. Needless to say I replaced the bolts with rivets. The mills was very good until this happened
