A Unifine mill is a single one-pass impact milling system which produces ultrafine-milled whole-grain wheat flour that requires no grain pre-treatment and no screening of the flour. [1] Like the grist or stone mills that had dominated the flour industry for centuries, the bran, germ, and endosperm elements of grain are processed into a ...

SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. [9] [10] The largest SAG mill is 42' (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor. [11]
The obvious efficiency of the roller mill prompted adoption over the next decade and came to dominate the commercial flour industry. No all-millstone mills of any significance were built in the U.S. after that with the commercial flour grindstone virtually disappearing from the flour milling scene in all developed countries by the early 1900s.
