After 20 years of the same problems plaguing mid-range roller mills, we asked 2500 brewers, distillers, and malters what they wanted to see fixed. The result was the most efficient and easy-to-use grain mill that is still affordable.
Mills
Thoughtfully-engineered and made in the USA and Denmark, our milling solutions feature a number of benefits and options to fit any application. Intert, cryo, and vacuum-milling solutions are also available for difficult products. Need a system? Learn why ABM should be your go-to choice here.
Roller Mills
Roller mills use cylindrical, opposing rollers to crush or grind material that is fed between them. The speed of the rollers is slightly off-set to achieve a grinding effect without creating too much heat. We deploy them for medium to coarse grinding where we need a lot of control over the grind (the product needs a certain grind and no more). Roller mills are good for ingredients that are relatively soft and not too abrasive, most commonly grains.
Hammer Mills
Hammer Mills Hammer mills reduce particle size of materials by crushing it between two colliding pieces of metal, thus the name. This method is extremely effective and can reach very high throughputs with very little footprint. However it is very...
Commercial Flour Mill
A sturdy, long-lasting grain mill, the Commercial Flour Mill is the standalone version of the model intended for continuous-operation systems and thus includes more safety features. This heavy duty mill (Grindmaster 950 model) features a strong base, long-lasting shaft and bearings, and was built for high-throughput applications. Aimed at whole grain, whole meal, and grits, these mills are ideal for organic flours as the low temperatures maintained during the grinding process retains and protects the nutrient content of the grain. The Commercial Flour Mill features additional shrouding for operator safety and aesthetics versus standard industrial mills.
Cereal Grain Mill
One of the most versatile commercial mills on the market, the Cereal Grain Mill (model MHA 600D) can be set to gently crack grains or finely mill them to flour. Though suitable for a wide range of products, it is most popular for cereal grains such as wheat, maize, rice, barley, and oats because of the unique control it allows.
As a member of the disc mill class, it uses two spinning discs to precisely reduce particle size. Because the discs can be set as far apart or as close together as needed, it allows processors to strike the balance that can’t be reached with roller or hammer mills. Throughput varies per product, but is capable of up to 4500 lbs/hr.
A micrometer hand wheel allows precise and convenient control, and the discs are easily changed should they wear.
Cone Mills
Cone Mills use a spinning apparatus, selected for the application, which grinds product against a perforated screen. Screen sizes and rotor spacing can set to achieve price grinds with product between 5 mm and 250 μm. Cone mills are known for their versatility, able to grind fatty, moist, and inconsistent product effectively.
Lump Breakers
ABM supplies lump breakers to reduce particle size of large lumps or aggregates. Often used in the processing of bulk ingredients such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food products, we integrate them in systems like yours to improve a material’s flow, make it more compactable, or prepare it for milling.
Air Classifiers
Our Air Classifiers mill product as finely as 5 μm and eject it when the desired size is reached. A type of vertical mill, air classifiers create the finest grinds possible. Configuration of the classifier and the grinding media can be easily swapped to get the best results for your product.
Professional Tabletop Flour Mill
Most popular among grocery stores, bakeries, and farms, the Tabletop Flour Mill is the easiest way for your home or business to enjoy the nutritional and taste benefits of stone disc mills. It can mill any product under 12% moisture and 6% oil (most commonly whole grains, coffee, spices, and grains) at up to 175 lbs. per hour depending on the desired fineness. It comes stock with a 9 lb. hopper and uses stone discs to grind, which preserve nutrients by keeping lower temperatures. If you’re grinding whole, organic grains, this is the best mill on the market. This is a miniature version of the mill used by Bob’s Red Mill. The price as of 10/25 is $4,600, but call or email to confirm pricing at time of purchase.
For larger bakeries, the tabletop mill is also available with a sifter which can be configured for flour, bran, and fine bran. It’s equipped with three separate outlets optimized for their respective flour types. Feel free to call or email us with any questions!
Spice Mill
First produced in 1910 and improved upon ever since, the Spice Mill is also ideal for small batches of grains, peas, and sugar. Mustard, coffee, and other oily products can also be ground efficiently with stones designed to handle the oils.

Universal Mills
Universal Mills, also known as combination mills, use multiple methods and configurations of those methods to deliver the broadest range of capabilities possible. They use turbine blades for a course grinds, a pin-mill configuration for fine grinds, and are compatible with various grinding media to fine-tune results. Both turbine and pin configurations can be utilized when incoming product is very course and outgoing needs to be very fine. It also protects product by using a closed-loop design (to prevent exchange of inside and outside air) and can optionally use low temperatures or inert gases for special cases, detailed under options. It’s compatible with most processing lines via flexible inlet and outlet configurations. The hinged doors allow for easy maintenance and inspection and it can reduce particle size to 100 μm – 20μm. We employ universal mills for applications that need a broad range of particle size reduction. Regardless of brand, ABM will select the right universal for your product and reconfigure it if no solutions is optimal out-of-the-box.
Continuous Commercial Flour Mill
The continuous Commercial Flour Mill (Europemill 600 and 950 mm W) is a horizontal mill designed with triangular shape and is used in in many plants for decentralized production. The Industrial Flour Mill isn’t limited to just flour though – this versatile mill tackles many other applications such as hulling chickpeas and milling cereals, wheat, spices, buckwheat, rye and other grains. Comparable to the Commercial Flour Mill, which is the standalone unit, the continuous model fits in an integrated system with product delivery and takeaway, dust collection, and sifting.
Engineered to retain all natural fibers, vitamins, and minerals during the milling process, the Industrial Flour Mill utilizes traditional stone millstones, making it ideal for health foods. Designed to be placed in continuous production areas, these models can be installed next to one another.
