Grana Mills are designed for domestic use, it can run continuously for about an hour. Post that, it may get overheated and turn off automatically. Operations will resume once the motor cools down. This is because every motor is fitted with a Thermal Cut off to protect the motor from overheating.

Different grains take different times to grind. While the finest wheat flour takes 12 mins for 500gms, the finest ragi flour takes only 4 mins.

Grinding fresh everyday, the required amount of flour is the most efficient way to use your GRANA Grain mill. In almost all homes the daily requirement is only around 300-400gms of flour, this should take under 10 mins to grind. Doing this ensures you eat fresh while fully enjoying the whole grain goodness.

Not at all!

For a quick clean after each operation, simply put the hopper in the coarse setting and run a handful of any grain, this will clear any residual flour from the chamber and snout. This is more than enough if the GRANA Mill is used on a daily basis. For a deeper clean, GRANA mills are designed in such a way that you can access the grinding chamber in a flash, to remove the hopper rotate it in the coarse direction for two full turns. The stones can then be easily be removed and cleaned. The inside of the grinding chamber can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

All dry grains which do not have any oil content can be ground in the mill. In case you’re washing the grains before grinding, ensure that they’re completely dry before putting them into the mill. Spices cannot be done with the machine as they don’t powder but rather form a paste between two grinding stones. Metal blades are the more practical option for spices.

Our stone mills, like traditional chakkis, crush grains to the finest level possible with visible flakes of bran (skin of grain). All this while generating minimal heat, preserving the nutrition of every grain. Bran is an important and nutrient rich part of the grain, which gets sieved out in commercial flour. You can expect anywhere from 8-15% bran in the GRANA flour depending on the grain. The bran can be sieved out if it is not preferred, but we at GRANA Mills strongly recommend against it because that defeats the purpose of using whole grains in your diet. You can regrind the flour in the mill if more fineness is required.

The GRANA Grain Mill comes with a 5Amp plug. So, it fits into any socket you may have.

It weighs about 7.5 kgs when not loaded with grains.

The stones are capable of grinding about 250Kgs of flour without needing any replacement. The stone life will of course vary slightly based on usage.

Service is currently provided directly from the factory, u can send an Email to info@granamills.com to get in touch with us and we will get back to you. Spares if required are readily available on the website. The mill does not need any sort of periodic maintenance.

Every GRANA Grain Mill is fitted with an efficient high torque induction motor which uses 1 unit of current for every 4 hours of grinding.

It’s a good practice to wash the grains before using them. This will remove any dust, impurities or additives from the grain surface (this step can be skipped if the grains are bought from a reputed retailer, GRANA Mills recommends grains from Happy Macros). Please ensure the grains are fully dry before loading them into the machine.

Some varieties of rice being extremely starchy might not grind smoothly, in those cases, wash the rice till the water runs clear and dry them fully before grinding.

All Grains usually need only one round of grinding at the finest setting for fine flour with the exception of Jowar and Corn. Both Jowar and Corn will need grinding twice if very fine flour is required, this is because of it’s extremely hard tough to break skin.

All Dals need to be dry roasted for a couple of minutes before grinding owing to its tendency to absorb moisture.
