Eyes open! When buying a mill
What makes a Salzburg flour mill so special?
1. domestic, solid and untreated wood
The milling chamber
is made of domestic, untreated beech, oak or walnut wood manufactured
This is where the grain is milled! This means that no synthetic material can get into the flour, even through friction of the grains against the side wall.
In our grinding chamber, your grain and flour only come into contact with wood (except the stone carrier and grinding stone).
Wood is known to have an antibacterial effect Read more … Wood instead of plastic!

2. granite grinding stones - without chemical additives!
We are probably the only manufacturer that offers untreated granite grinding stones for electric household mills.
Based on our decades of experience, we are convinced of the value of natural millstones.
In contrast to artificial millstones, granite stones have to be worked by hand.
Each pair of stones is unique
Durable - almost breakage and chipping proof - self-sharpening - no artificial abrasion in the flour.
We provide a 24-year warranty against breakage or chipping of stone parts. If necessary, we will regrind the millstones free of charge within the 12-year warranty.
Artificial corundum-ceramic grinding stones are out of the question for us!
Corundum ceramic grinding stones - main component artificially produced corundum.
Corundum (aluminum oxide Al2O3) used to come from natural sources (e.g. Naxos island, Greece). It is a very hard mineral that is now artificially produced for abrasives. Various degrees of purity can be achieved during production using the melting process: from dark brown normal corundum to white high-grade corundum. In order to influence the properties (e.g. toughness, splinterability) of the corundum in the desired manner, certain elements such as chrome or zircon are incorporated into the crystal lattice in a controlled manner and the different types of corundum with the corresponding colors are created.

3. the proven coarse-fine adjustment
The proven coarse/fine adjustment is child’s play to operate with one hand
.

- Carina,
- MAX,
- MAX Special
- and MT 5
the fineness of the flour is determined by Raising and lowering of the lower millstone adjusted. You turn the wooden knob on the side.
The grinding fineness can also be adjusted during grinding.
