Steel Knurled Rollers

What's the best way to drive a home made mill? - Home Brew Forums

Generally speaking, with most mills, only one roller is driven. The other roller is turned by the friction of the grain as it passes through the gap. The cheapest way to power a small malt mill is with a low RPM drill motor. Harbor Freight has them for about $30 or so if you catch them on sale which is not difficult to do. The best way, IMO, is to use a gearmotor. I think Science Surplus is the usual source for these, but you can sometimes snag one at a reasonable price on Ebay. New gear motors can be very pricey. If you really want to drive both rollers, get an o-ring that spans the gap between the rollers enough so that the driven roller drives them both... that's probably the easiest other than using 1 motor for each roller... which is probably the most expensive... as others have said, just drive one roller and the other will turn as the grain passes through. I don't know how long your rollers are but you may need quite a bit of torque if they are a foot long or so...
