  • Part of the machinery to run the mill.
  • Here is the place where the miller writes down what's in every silo. There are 12!
  • Old and new go together.
  • Same here.
  • Really an old part of the machinery. Once every thing was driven in this way.
  • These things really turned and were helping to move the stones.
  • Part of the central machinery.
  • This machinery is a few hundred years old.
  • A modern part: they sink this thing in deep water. On top the water comes in and at the bottom it goes out. This thing starts to turn and makes electricity. It works like a mixer the other way around.
  • The filling station for the bags.
  • The flour comes out of this pipe.
  • They simply hang a bag and when it is filled with 25 kg the machinery stops for a short while to change the bag.
  • The mill is quite small.
  • Loaded with pipes for transport of the grain.
  • In the wooden closet are the stones which actually mill the grain to flour.
  • Pipes everywhere.
  • This things is a helping hand to get the stone out once a year for cleaning.
  • The grain can come from different silos.
  • Several stones and lots of traffic of grain.
  • In the old times the miller could change the speed of the whole mill with this thing.
