Roller mill for emmer, spelt, and einkorn

The Willisdorf site is home to the only roller mill within a 35 km radius. Grain has been rolled here since the company was founded. The roller mill is certified organic.

Emmer, einkorn, and spelt are so-called spelt grains. The grains are enclosed in a firm husk that ends in thin awns a few centimeters long. The grain must be separated from the husk (rolled) in the roller mill.

Spelt = spelt grain

-->  results in: Spelt kernels for spelt flour

-->  on the other hand:
Spelt chaff for bedding and pillow fillings

Hulling - this is how the grain loses its husk
Rolling is a special task that requires a great deal of experience and dexterity.
Only when the rolling stone is correctly carved, the rolling track is correctly adjusted, and the work is continuously monitored can a kernel yield of 72% of the spelt delivered by the farmer be achieved.
The structure carved into the stone and the correct distance between the stones ensure that the spelt rolls between the stones. In this rotational movement, the husks are gently separated from the kernel.

Kernels and husks are separated
In a further step, the husks are separated from the grain. This is done with the aid of sieves and air flow.
While the light husks (also called chaff) are carried away by the wind, the heavy kernels remain in the sieve and broken grains and light kernels fall through.
