I already tried to get an answer from Fred the manufacture of the Monster Mill MM3-2.0 without any luck. I asked Fred how many pounds a minute the 3roller mill will crush and at what RPM the mills input shaft is turning for the given amount in pounds of grain per minute. His reply "more than 10 pounds a minute". That was only what he replied in his answer. What good is this kind of answer without knowing the RPM's the mills input shaft and roller were turning to get this answer of "more than 10 pounds per minute"? I wanted to know the mills RPM's so that I can gear this new mill to the amount of pounds per minute I would like it to crush and adjust the RPM's of the input shaft to a figure in pounds a minute that I would like to crush and the mills RPM's for the minimum of flour produced. Let me decide on the final Mills RPM's as this is my mill. Am I asking a question that is too complicated that even the manufacture of this mill can only answer by "more than 10 pounds a minute"? What is so difficult about not answering a simple question about what RMM's were used to produce this "over 10 pounds a minute reply"?
It does not have to be down to the exact ounce just a number I can use to start with.
I hate these beating around the bush reply answers especially coming from the manufacture of a product like the Monster Mill with their $229 list price before adding $17 shipping for a $246 investment of my green.
I know I must not be the only one that has ever purchased the new MM3-2.0 three roller mill with 2" those diameter rollers that are 6" long.
This delays me on ordering gears for this chain drive which totally screws me up when a simple question has not been answered, only half of the question.
Questions; Has anyone else on this forum purchased this mill and how many pounds a minute is it crushing on average and how many RPM's are you running the MM3-2.0 so that I can get the proper gearing to my liking for my mill?
Thanks in advance. Maybe the "more than 10 pounds a minute" were a direct drive off a 1750 rpm motor with the MM3-2.0 bushings life of only five minutes to reach this number? I'm just a little disappointed as Fred was always quick on the email replies before the purchase and now since he has cashed in the credit card maybe i'm not important anymore? I would hope to shout this is not how Fred runs his business as up to this time and purchase he was there with answers even up to 9 PM on weekdays. Fred you got your ears and confuser turned on to this HBT forum?
Thanks in advance I just had to rant and get this out for others planning on building and gearing their Monster Mills to the proper RPM's that they want to run their mills at without making excess flour. What speed I may run at will be different than you would run your mill but then this is my mill and built to please myself. End of rant just a little bent out of shape at the moment.
