Making a homemade hand mill with an electric motor. Homemade mill do it yourself
Making a home mill with an electric motor
For the mill, I found a faulty electric motor (with a power of about 300 ... 1000 W). The engine was disassembled first. The starter was left unchanged. But with the rotor (Fig. 1) I did the following operations:
I drilled holes in it along an inclined line with a drill with a diameter of 10 mm to a depth of 7 mm (the distance between the holes is 1 ... 1.5 cm);
I connected the holes with grooves 7 mm wide and 3.5 mm deep using a cutting wheel.
It should be noted that at the exit points finished products, that is, at points I, the grooves are formed especially carefully, limited to a depth of 1.5 ... 2 mm. After all, by setting the depth of the grooves at the outlet by the selection method, it is possible to regulate the quality of grinding;
A chamfer is removed from the upper part of the rotor (emery);
The rotor is inserted into the stator and holes are drilled or cut with a chisel in the stator covers for filling the grain and exiting the finished product.
For the convenience of filling the crushed product into the mill, a loading hopper made of tin is attached to the lid. The dimensions of the bunker depend, of course, on the dimensions of the engine (Fig. 2). A handle is attached to the top of the motor shaft (now mills) (using a pin, bolt or (if the shaft has a thread) nuts. The design of the handle can be any.
For ease of use, the mill (assembled) is screwed to a board, which is then installed on a bench or stool, where a hole has been cut for the flour to exit (Fig. 3). An inverted bucket is placed under the bench (during work), and a container for flour is placed on it. The products are ground either by moving the handle back and forth (by 180 °), or by first making five turns of the handle clockwise, and then two ... three turns counterclockwise (otherwise the grooves become clogged).
The advantage of this mill is that it is made from readily available waste materials. The disadvantage is low performance. So, if you use a 300 W motor for the mill, the flour yield will be only 700 g / h. And having made a mill from an engine (I repeat a faulty one) with a power of 1 kW, the productivity of the mill will increase to 2.5 kg / h. It is clear that the greater the engine power, the more sizes both it and the rotor, which means that the faster the grinding goes. By the way, to increase productivity, instead of a handle, you can try connecting an electric drill to the mill shaft and turn it on at low speed.
Tips for a beginner miller:
Clean the rotor once a week;
Pour the grain in small portions to avoid clogging.

How to make a grain mill with your own hands
A household mini-mill for grain is a necessary device for obtaining flour. Making a mill with your own hands will require skills in working with drilling and turning devices. With this device, you can get coarse or fine flour and use it for home baking. Check out detailed instruction how to make a windmill with your own hands and try to put the knowledge into practice.
Characteristics of a homemade mini grain mill
This device was created in Udmurtia by O. Zaitsev and A. Yagovkin and was called "Baby". With the help of this hand-made mill, you can grind grain, make feed for livestock and poultry in your subsidiary farm, grind flour from corn, oats, wheat and other grains. A home-made mill is small in size, but at the same time it has high productivity: in just 5-6 minutes you can grind a bucket of corn on it, and wheat and oats - 2 times faster.
The technical specifications of a DIY homemade grain mill are as follows:
- dimensions (without branch pipe and bunker) - 320 x 160 x 170 mm;
- electric motor power - 180 W;
- productivity: for corn - 0.2 buckets per minute, for wheat, oats and other crops - 0.5 buckets per minute;
- the number of possible varieties of grinding - 2;
- the chopper is homemade, rotor-stator and reversible;
- the mass of the mill in the collection - 15 kg.
This home-made mill-grain crusher has sufficient reliability: as practice has shown, in two years active exploitation The mechanism has never failed.
How to make a homemade mini mill rotor
The design of a homemade grain mill is quite simple, so anyone with a desire can assemble such a device on their own. However, before you make a mill with your own hands, you need to get certain skills, namely, mastery of drilling and turning devices.
But if there are no such skills, then you can order the required parts in the workshop. Only three main parts will have to be ordered from the craftsmen: the rotor, stator and bearing assembly cover. You can assemble the entire structure from already manufactured parts in your home workshop.
If it is possible to do all the details for a home-made flour mill on your own, then a number of technological recommendations should be taken into account. When manufacturing a steel rotor, it is necessary to machine it together with a shaft of variable cross section. It is made of steel round timber or forging (grade 45, diameter 120 mm and length 90 mm). The work should be carried out in three stages. First, pre-treatment is needed, holes with a diameter of 10 mm are drilled in the workpiece, which should be evenly spaced around the circumference (diameter 105 mm). When will it be removed upper layer(grooving until a diameter of 104.5 mm is reached), the working protrusions-teeth open. Then the finished rotor must be subjected to heat treatment, i.e. hardening and tempering.
The technology of this process is as follows: the part must be heated to a temperature of 800-820 ° C (to a light red color), then lowered into an oil bath (it is not recommended to use water, otherwise the part will turn out to be too fragile and cracks will form), then tempering should be done , for which it is necessary to heat the rotor to 380-400 ° C, and then cool it in air. As a result, the hardness of the treated surface increases significantly - up to 350-400 Brinell units. You can check the quality of hardening of the product using a file, passing it along the cutting edge of the rotor tooth. With a high quality of hardening, the file will easily slide over the product without leaving a mark.
The rotor of this design rotates on two deep groove ball bearings. This allows you to significantly increase the bearing capacity of the unit, as well as the reliability of the entire mill as a whole.
A distance ring 0.5 mm thick should be installed on the shaft between the bearings. This device gives the bearings the ability to move by the calculated amount, creating a small tightness, which allows you to adapt the assembly to the internal stresses that the rotor-stator mechanisms have.
How to make a homemade mill stator with your own hands
The most difficult is the manufacture of the stator, so it requires maximum accuracy and accuracy of the work performed. The entire manufacturing process of the part also takes place in three stages. First you need to process the workpiece on lathe. At the same time, a technological allowance should be left on the side of the working chamber. To do this, you need to drill a central hole to a diameter of 70 mm, then mark a circle with a diameter of 105 mm on the workpiece, apply the centers of future holes, which later form the working surface of the stator.
How to make a decorative water mill: ideas, drawings with dimensions, step by step video instructions
These markings are applied in accordance with the drawing. Next, the contours of the upper and lower "windows" are marked, and after that, in accordance with the drawing and markings, blind holes are drilled to a depth of 28 mm.
Next, on a lathe, remove the technological allowance and bore the cavity under the working chamber to a diameter of 105 mm. Now the workpiece must be unfolded and bored with a seat for bearings No. 203. A groove for the sealing collar (if any) is also machined. However, it is known from practice that the design can do without this element.
This concludes the first stage of processing the part. Now you can start drilling the threaded holes for installing the stator cover, nozzle, hopper and bearing assembly cover. At the end of the work, the stator must be heat treated, like the rotor (using the same technology).
In the process of how to make a homemade mill, it is very important in the process of assembling a mini mill to carefully adjust the position of the stator. This is done with bolts. The rotor should rotate easily and without jamming. After that, you can test run the mill. First you need to fix it on a stool, plug it into the network, fill the hopper with grain and turn it on.
How to make a home mill frame
Next item: how to make a third for a homemade windmill important detail structures - base plate, or frame. It can be cut from steel sheet 6-8 mm thick. Then you need to attach the stator to it with the help of M6 screws, which will simultaneously fix the pipe. The last element can also be made removable by simply installing it in the hole in the frame, which is made in this case by pipe size. In this hole, the structural element will hold only due to friction.
The pipe is made from a piece of thin-walled pipe with outside diameter 28 mm. Its section can be square or round, and in accordance with this, the hole in the frame for it is also made square or round, depending on the diameter of the pipe used.
Next is the loading hopper. This is the most simple detail v general design according to the manufacturing method. The bunker can be cut out of roofing iron, then the sheet is bent to a given shape and the butt weld is soldered. Roofing iron may well compete in strength and reliability, in this case, with thicker sheet iron. The finished hopper is mounted on the stator and secured with two M6 bolts.
Before you make a grain mill, be sure to consider one important factor. If the rotor rotates in one direction, only one half of the working chamber of the stator is involved. If the rotor rotates in the opposite direction, then the other half of the stator will begin to participate in the work. Since the dimensions and number of protrusions in the working chamber on the right and left are different, the result of grinding products in the first and second cases will be different. Due to this, using one or another option, it will be possible to obtain a greater or lesser degree of grinding of the product at the output. To do this, you just need to change the direction of rotation of the rotor.
Electric equipment for household mini-mill
Even before you make a mini mill, take care of the electrical equipment. As electrical equipment in the design of the mini-mill, a capacitor, a toggle switch and a fuse are used. They are mounted next to the motor on a plate made of dielectric. To reverse the rotor, you just need to switch the capacitor, the capacitance of which is approximately 3.8 microfarads (due to the relatively small load on the motor).
The shafts of the grain crusher and the engine must be aligned. The transmission of rotation will be carried out using a rigid coupling. In the mounting brackets, it is necessary to make guide holes for the M6 bolts so that the alignment of the shafts can be adjusted. In the base plate of the mill in the horizontal plane there should be holes that will be used for moving, and in the vertical plane the same holes should be located on another shelf of the corners.
For finished flour, you only need to substitute a container under the outlet pipe. If everything is done correctly, the mill will work without interruption.
According to a well-known saying, one can look at flowing water endlessly. This sight pacifies, inspires and, finally, it is simply beautiful. On a hot summer day, water gives coolness, and its murmur brings sweet dreams. It is precisely such pleasant sensations that a water mill will provide, which, knowing the principle of its operation, is easy to do on your own. The main thing is that there is a reservoir on the site. Many beliefs have long been associated with mills, and the miller himself was considered a sorcerer, attributing to him magical power over water. Modern technologies allow us to make our dreams come true without resorting to magic.
Once upon a time, water and windmills were used to grind grains into flour. The principle of operation for both types of mills is the same, only windmills use wind energy, and watermills use water.
The grains were lifted up, from where they entered the millstones through the gutters. Running water, rotating the wheel of the mill, set the millstones in motion. The grains were ground, and the finished flour poured down the chute, where it was collected in bags.
Looks like this general scheme the operation of the mill wheel: it rotates under the pressure of running water flowing through the chute
The mill that we want to build does not have the task of grinding grain into flour. We leave behind it an exclusively decorative function: the presence of a wheel rotating under the influence of water will give the site a peculiar charm.
A do-it-yourself decorative water mill is based on a wheel installed on the bank of a stream or other source of running water.
This mill performs an exclusively decorative function and a pump pumps water onto its wheel: here is a diagram of the operation of the device
The mill wheel is equipped with blades spaced at equal distances from each other. Water enters the wheel blades through a chute located in the upper part of the structure. Its flow sets the wheel in motion.
The hinged axle allows it to rotate freely. But running water- a rarity for the garden plot. If there is at least a pond, it will come to the rescue submersible pump. Water will also flow to the mill wheel, and it will rotate merrily, delighting the audience.
We select style matching
As a decorative element, the water mill can decorate any style of garden. Once this building became part of not only European culture but also Russian. It is associated with the aroma of freshly baked bread, home comfort and a fairy tale, so it is a great find for those who are looking for a colorful detail. landscape design.
The mill is a symbol of comfort and prosperity: where it is, there can be no troubles and surprises, it always smells of fresh bread and fresh milk
Depending on the solutions we choose in the process of building a water mill, it can look fabulous in the Russian spirit, have a medieval Gothic look or acquire futuristic features.
This feature of the structure must be taken into account and think in advance how to make a water mill such that it meets common idea landscape design.
The watermill must fit harmoniously into general style site and fully comply with its landscape design
A massive wooden mill will be in dissonance with graceful fountains and openwork bridges in the style of classicism. And a fabulous Russian-style gazebo will simply visually crush a neat Japanese mill. Let's think about how you can beat this building for different style solutions.
Country or country style
Typical elements of country style include wooden benches and gazebos, wattle fences, log bridges and houses for children, also made of wood. A mill in the same spirit, equipped with a wooden wheel, can perfectly maintain stylistic unity.
The country-style windmill harmonizes perfectly with its specially aged wheel with other design details, such as a fence or a bench
coloring old manor in the Russian style, wooden sculptures, a cart-flower bed and log house well. Plants "in the subject" will complement the picture, so take care of the reeds and, sunflowers and daisies. The artificially aged wheel of the structure will complement the picture of the patriarchal village life.
Noble Japanese style
Main idea Japanese design- nothing superfluous in the field of view should not be. Only stones, water and plants that are so nice to admire. The mill wheel can be an addition to a stone castle with loopholes and towers. Benches made of stone will give you the opportunity to relax, looking at the water and the measured rotation of the wheel.
The Japanese windmill is in perfect harmony with the given style, in which the eye should not cling to unnecessary unnecessary details.
The general atmosphere of peace will fully comply with the canons of Japanese philosophy, in which the melody of the stream is considered more beautiful than sounds. musical instruments. Arizema, dwarf Japanese maple, undersized sakura and wonderful Japanese quince can successfully complement the overall feeling.
Symbolism of the Dutch garden
If in other cases a water mill serves as a kind of highlight, then when creating a garden in dutch style it can become the main element of landscape design, around which compositions from garden roses, daffodils and tulips.
The Dutch-style windmill is colorful and concise at the same time: daffodils, tulips and roses wonderfully complement the overall picture
If the decorative structure is a miniature, a kind of model of an operating water mill, it can be made in the form of a half-timbered house, typical for Holland and Germany. Garden gnomes, water vanes or an elegant weather vane are a great addition that emphasizes the style of the building.
Making your own watermill
watermill mounted on garden plot should match its size. Agree that on the traditional six acres, an epic log structure will look funny. But the current miniature will come in handy. A medium-sized millhouse can be used to store inventory or children's toys.
Like a real one, only small
To begin with, you can build a model of the mill. For this you will need:
- paving slabs of size 75x50 cm;
- pavement stones, which look like cubes in the picture;
- wooden slats;
- bituminous tiles;
- plywood;
- threaded brass rod;
- bushings;
- screws and dowels;
- glue for woodworking;
- protective impregnation.
All dimensions of the structure are shown in the figure below.
All dimensions of this model are given in centimeters; having carefully examined the diagram and read the instructions for creating a model, you will not be mistaken when doing the work
Along the edge of the paving slabs, we attach cube-shaped stones in the form of the number “9”. We cover them on top with a solution, which we level with a damp sponge. With a jigsaw, we cut the rails to size. From them we assemble the frame of the structure. For this connection, we glue the racks, and fix the corner parts with a cut “in half a tree”.
In order for the result of the work to cause satisfaction, it is necessary to carry it out without haste and consistently, moving from one stage to another.
We attach the resulting frame to the base through the struts with dowels and screws. We fill the frame with tiles. To do this, cut it to size. circular saw and glued with silicone. We put the image of the wheel disks on a sheet of plywood, after which we carefully cut out the details with a jigsaw.
Everything wooden details structures should be thoroughly soaked with an antiseptic solution: the structure will be outdoors under snow and rain
An overview of wood protection products from moisture, fire, insects and decay will also be useful:
We glue pieces of an aluminum corner to one half of the wheel at distances that correspond to the intervals between the spokes. The corners imitate the blades of the wheel. We make a support for the wheel, gluing it and connecting it with screws to be sure. A glued piece of aluminum pipe will reinforce the hole for the axle.
Wheel - the working part of the mill, the quality of which should be given Special attention, because the total life span of the structure depends on its service life
A brass rod is used as an axis. A spacer sleeve is put on it and aluminum tube as reinforcement for the wall. Another spacer is needed to provide a gap between the support and the wheel. A nut is screwed onto the thread of the brass rod.
The finished mill looks great and pleases the eye; check again how securely all its elements are fixed, and you can start testing on the water
The upper part of the frame of the structure is sheathed with slats. Wooden corners, which are glued to the corners of the lower part, allow you to correctly combine the individual structural elements. The tile is cut out with a wallpaper knife and glued with bituminous glue. The structure is ready.
Full Size Watermill
Even a full-sized structure, placed in the right place, will decorate the site and make it even more comfortable. See for yourself.
Landscape suburban area can be decorated not only with flower beds, lamps and figurines. If there is a small stream or river nearby, you can build a water mill. The quiet murmur of flowing water soothes and creates a cozy atmosphere. How to make a water mill - in the next material.
If there is no water flow, it can be created artificially. Solutions may be as follows.
- Decorative watermills are installed under the gutter: In this case, its wheel will spin when it rains. But you can not wait for the rain: with the help of a watering hose, water can be supplied to the roof using a small pump. Flowing down the pipe to the mill wheel, it can then be diverted to the garden.
- If the area near the cottage is uneven, the relief can be used to organize a falling stream. On a hill, a container of sufficient size should be dug into the ground, into which precipitation or water from a well will be collected. A water mill is installed next to the tank, to which water will be supplied through a chute.
- On a flat area, a hill can be created according to the principle of an "alpine hill" using compacted soil and cobblestone. In the middle of the hill, you can wall up a water hose, the flow of water from which will imitate an underground key.
- The power of the pump is selected so that it allows pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir or directly to the mill wheel. There is a direct dependence of the pump power on the distance over which water will be pumped.
DIY water mill
After the water level difference device is completed, the construction of the main structure begins. The device of a water mill is quite simple: you need a house in which a water pump and a water wheel are installed, which is driven by water pumped from the upper tank to the lower one.
The design may be different: you can do without a house, limiting yourself to a wheel or several wheels (if there is a cascade).
The water mill wheel can be crafted in the following ways:
- a bicycle wheel can be used to make a mill flywheel;
- a cable reel is used;
- circles are cut out of boards knocked down with each other;
- a piece of pipe with blades attached is fine.
Regardless of what material the wheel is made of, the following rules must be observed:
- the presence of blades is mandatory;
- in the center of the wheel there should be a pipe to install the axle around which the rotation will be carried out.
Stages of creating a water mill
- A water wheel with blades is being made. The easiest way is to install the blades around the perimeter between two coaxially fixed circles. Fastening can be done by any mechanical means.
- Two supports are constructed, on which the axis of the water wheel is attached in a movable way. For this, bearings are used.
- Supports can be designed in the form decorative house. The material for them can be metal corners, channels, oak beams, but, brick, cement.
- A chute is brought to the top of the wheel, through which water will flow onto the blades.
- Wooden blades are covered with several layers of water-repellent varnish. Metal coated with anti-corrosion paint.
- Channels are being installed to divert water to beds or to a storage tank.
- They decorate the area around the mill: turf is laid, planted ornamental plants.
How to use a water mill
How a water mill works is known: water falling on the blades of the wheels rotates them, which sets the axle in motion. The design of the decorative mill does not imply further transmission of torque to the actuator.
There is a possibility practical use powerful water flow: the axis of the water wheels can spin the rotor of the electric generator. In this way, the mill can produce electricity to light paths.
But usually a water mill in a country house remains a decorative structure. With its help, you can direct the flow of water in the right direction, for example - to the beds.
We provide style matching
The best addition to the country style can be a water mill. Photos of some successful design solutions presented in the article.
The size of the mill is selected depending on the power of the flow of the river or stream, but for decorative design the site will be enough construction about a meter high. The mill supports can be made of rubble. good option there may be a brick for their construction: the edges that break off over time will make the structure more original. Stone and brick work well with wood, but in order for wooden parts to last longer, they should be made from hardwood. Metal parts must be treated with phosphoric acid: in this case, corrosion will remain superficial and give the design originality due to natural aging.
For the decoration of the mill house, you can use straw, bamboo, ceramic tiles. Under a stream of falling water, you can pour sea pebbles. Ornamental plants are planted along the edges of the gutter with water and near the house. The water mill will be the decoration of the suburban area.
In conclusion - a video about creating a landscape using a water mill.
Decorating a summer cottage is the task of any gardener. The construction of alpine slides, arrangement - each summer resident decorates a garden, applying imagination and skills in practice. decorative windmill- it original combination sophistication and antiquity, such a structure will delight every guest. The difference between a water mill and a classic one is the flow of water that makes the mill work.
Preparations for the construction of the mill
Appearance The design differs depending on the wishes, but the principle of operation of a water mill is the same for all types: the blades are set in motion under the action of a stream of water. The water mill consists of the following elements:
- Wheel with paddles;
- water supply chute;
- A frame to support the wheel or a decorative house on the side of the wheel;
- Hinges, axle for wheel rotation and fasteners.
For the construction of a water mill, prepare necessary tools and materials. For a wooden water mill you will need plywood, bars different lengths, a metal rod, plastic or roofing tiles are suitable for the gutter, you will need a hammer and screwdrivers. Do not forget to prepare a special one to increase the life of the mill parts.
Mill water supply system
If a reservoir is landscaped on the site, half of the work has already been done. If you have to, choose the right place for a water mill. Avoid areas with large quantity trees and shrubs, in the presence of uneven ground - use this for your own purposes. In order for the mill to start working, it is necessary to provide an artificial flow of water, for this, use one of the options:
- The arrangement of a water mill under the gutter from the drain of the house will perform two important functions: water drainage and decorative placement. The downside of this solution is the time limit: the mill will only work after rain.
- The irregularities of the site, which I wrote about above, will become original way water supply. Use alpine slide on the site, in the absence of one - create it yourself.
- On a flat area, supply water using a pump. Install the pump in the pond, lay the hose to the gutter, mask with stones and plants. The construction of such a system is similar to the arrangement in a summer cottage.
- If the site has a moving water body, place the wheel a third of the way into the water. The wheel will move naturally.
Construction of a water mill
Let us consider in more detail the stages of creating a water mill. Start work by designing a drawing of a future structure, calculate the dimensions of the parts, and prepare a site for a water mill. After approval of the mill drawing, proceed to the creation of structural elements.
- Water mill wheel. The classic solution is to create a wooden mill wheel from solid wood or plywood. The use of improvised means will give originality to the wheel: a bicycle rim, a tire from a car wheel, plastic elements or rubber hoses. Make wheel blades from wooden blocks or aluminum profile. The design of the wheel involves the presence of two round discs or rims, with blades between them, installed at an equal distance, and a central hole for the axle for rotation.
- Watermill body. Most often presented in the form of a decorative house, which can be used as Utility room. Lay out the base paving slabs or fill with screed. Assemble the frame of the house from wooden beams, sheathe with clapboard or rail. Close the roof frame of the house with plywood, on top of which lay the selected roofing material.
- Separate and milestone construction of a water mill - processing wooden elements. Thoroughly sand every detail and cover with protective impregnation in several layers. To preserve wooden elements, repeat the treatment every 2-3 years.
- Installation of a water mill. Drill a hole in the wall of the house, put the wheel on a metal axle, insert it into the hole and fix it on the outer support with nuts. Connect the hoses and connect the pump to start the water.
The creation of a water mill with your own hands is completed. It remains only to apply imagination and decorate the water mill to the desired style. Plant moisture-loving plants around, lay out stones, build across a pond - the resulting place for relaxation will be appreciated by guests and family members.
