Nora Mill Transfer
Our trucks deliver corn to the mill, the trucks have a hookup at
the rear of the dumpbed for the screw conveyor to transfer the corn
into the system. |
Start the Process
The Transfer Screw delivers the corn from the truck into the mill system, this begins the meal preparation. |
 |
Natural Power
The Chattahoochee River provides the power to run this grist mill.
Water is channelled through a specifically sized trough, forcing the
main water wheel to rotate and initiate the pulley system. |
 |
 |
Distribution System
The supply corn is fed into a distribution box with an adjustable
gate located at the bottom of the box to allow the raw corn feed to be
synchronized for a perfect running system. |
Transfer to screening
The corn is precisely scooped up into cups attatched to a rotating
conveyor belt that lifts and transports the corn to the screens located
on the top floor of the grist mill. |
 |
 |
Ready Cleaned Corn
After the corn has been cleaned in the screening room, the corn is
dropped into a large funnel, which allows the corn to be fed to the
grinder in a synchronized manner. |
Grinding the Corn
The corn is fed into the center of two large stone grinding wheels.
The Grinding wheels have carved vains in them to mechanically grind the
corn into meal. |
 |
 |
The Meal is Produced
As you stand watching the Grinding Wheels do their job, you'll see
the outlet sending the ground meal through to the conveying system to
be prepared for packaging. |
Packaging the Product
Packages are weighed and prepared for the shelf to be sold to the public. |
