Hi Eric, Sorry to confuse but I have considered an Indian family with an average member of 4 and their daily intake of wheat flour. To cater this demand, they a family need to grind the wheat grain twice in a month. For the consumption pattern of wheat flour in other countries may vary as it is not a primary food ingredient!
Thanks for the very informative article. As I work for a domestic flour mill manufacturing company, I would like to add some basic technical points while choosing a grain mill ( atta chakki in India). Output: You should always buy grain mill with at least 7 Kg/hour capacity Grinding Capability: Grinding capability means whether the grain mill is capable of grinding multi-grains and spices or not. Grinding Chamber & Cutter Blade Material: Cheap grinding chambers and cutter blades are harmful because, over a period of time, some metal particles get mixed with fine flour or atta. Noise & Vibration: Noise and vibrations should be in permissible limits for a safety our machines and as well as for us. Technology: Today modern and advanced technology is used in every machine, and grain mills are also built with top-notch technology; hence, you should always check the technology to get user-friendly grain mill for home. I have written many research of mine on grain mills that you can read on my website names atta chakki guide I hope I have added some useful information for all the readers here. Best, Neeraj Agarwal
