GRINDING POP-CORN
Grinding pop-corn is not the same as crushing raw grain. Pop-corn should be torn apart when it is ground and not mashed, as it is the fluffy, light texture you desire to maintain.
Knott’s Mills (Stock No. [2001] and Stock No. [109]) accomplish the same work in different ways, but the former is of disc construction and the latter of the cylinder type. The former is slower but uses much less power.
In case of Mill, Stock No. 2001-1 (see [page 24]), which is power-driven, the construction is such that it will make no great difference whether the pop-corn is put in before or after the mill is started.
Adjustment is made by the thumb screw in the hub of the pulley. Turning in causes the mill to grind finer.
In case the pop-corn does not feed in the hopper a stick run down in the Hopper (Stock No. [2020-1]) or a common knife stuck in between the machine and the Hopper will cause the machine to start grinding again.
Hopper (Stock No. [2020]) for this mill holds a bushel of pop-corn.
Knott’s Grinder, Stock No. [109] is the machine for efficient work. Every last bit of pop-corn put in the hopper will be ground without attention.
Never open the slide to let the pop-corn to the grinder until after the power is on. If the power is put on after the pop-corn is let into the machine it will choke, in which case you will have to shut the slide and turn the machine over by hand to clear it.
Adjustment is made by the thumb screw on the side of the machine. Screwing it in causes finer grinding. By tightening up the lock nut on the adjusting screw you lock the adjustment.
Illustrations on [page 23] show how the stationary burr bracket is swung out to drop out nails or gravel.
Use this grinder with legs to straddle a barrel and hopper that holds a barrel of pop-corn and place on the stand by the side of the grinder an electric motor totally enclosed type Stock No. [2016-5], No. [2016-6], No. [2016-11], No. [2016-12].
