grinding mill

Stone-wheeled flour maker

A grinding mill is a machine that reduces solid materials to smaller particles or powder through crushing, friction, or impact.

Mills process grain into flour, ore into powder for extraction, or other materials requiring size reduction.

The term covers everything from traditional stone mills powered by wind or water to industrial ball mills and hammer mills used in mining and manufacturing.
