Roller mill Feed Mill Machinery Glossary | .
For coarse reduction of grain, a roller mill may have a significant advantage (perhaps as high as 85 percent) over a hammermill in terms of throughput/kwh of energy. For cereal grains processed to typical sizes (600 to 900 microns) for the feed industry, the advantage is about 30 to 50 percent. This translates into reduced operating expense.
