4 OPERATION 4.1 To the New Operator or Owner The Renn Mill is designed to receive dry grain from an auger, process it, and deposit it via the discharge auger. Be familiar with the machine before starting. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern, and prudence of personnel involved in the op- eration, transportation, maintenance and storage of equipment or in the use and maintenance of facilities.
4 OPERATION Setting up the Roller Mill 4.4.1 Roll Setting Figure 4.1 Figure 4.2 Loosen the wing nuts holding down the top hopper (Figure 4.2) and tip it over center, rotating on the hinge pin until it hits the stoppers. If using flat rolls to roll dry grain, set the rolls a very small distance apart.
4 OPERATION 4.4.2 Roll Gap Adjustment The cam control ( Figure 4.4) serves as a mechanism to make roll gap adjustments accurately and quickly using a 3/4” wrench or socket. The cam positional indicator is set at the factory to the “1”...
4 OPERATION 4.4.3 Feed Gate Control Set the friction nut/washer (Figure 4.6) so that it supports the weight of the feed gate and yet allows the gate to be opened and closed by hand. Note that the setting of the feed gate helps to spread the feeding of grain evenly across the face of the roll.
4 OPERATION Roll Drive Belt Cross Auger Drive Belt Figure 4.8 Figure 4.9 4.4.7 Spring Pressure To increase spring pressure, loosen the jam nut and turn the spring push bolt inward a 1/4 turn at a time. Setting the pressure higher than necessary is hard on the bearings and the roll surfaces when hard particles like rocks go through the rolls.
4 OPERATION 4.4.8 Grate Magnet The grate magnet has slits on the edges (Figure 4.11). These can be removed with pliers to ex- pand the top opening. This modification may aid in improving material flow when milling wet grain. Figure 4.11 4.5 Operating the Roller Mill 1.
4 OPERATION 4.6 Break-in It is recommended that the mill be run at moderate to full operational speed and at 1/2 to 2/3 capacity during the first hour of operation. This allows the frictional forces to diminish signifi- cantly within the auger tube, and allows the free flow of grain to approach acceptable levels in the system.
