There are three:

Hammer mill, as they say it has metal bars that hammer the stuff through a mesh screen.

Burr mill, the 2 plates that grind the grain between them.

Roller mill, which pressed the grain through 2 rollers, like a steam roller does to a tar road.

For some baby animals, a few people prefer the roller mill, as the grains will not have sharp edges, possibly easier to digest.

The hammer mill is the fastest, and is almost all that is still made. Some roller mills are used for wet corn stored in silos, but that's beyond what you are looking for.

I'm more familier with 'grinder/mixers' which use a hammer mill to grind the feed, and a big tub on the machine to store the feed and mix several different items together - corn, oats, minerals - all in the same batch.

Are you looking for the real old stand-alone mills, that would grind & dump directly onto a wagon or such?
