Werkstueck electric grain flaker Futuria E1

The new (2024) electric grain flaker from Austria

The sheltered workshop in Tyrol is once again demonstrating what it can achieve with its employees, people with disabilities, at the highest technical level. Following on from the 'Millenia' grain mill, the first analogue and digital grain mill, the "Futuria" flake crusher was developed as an electric or manual flaker to meet the demand for 'everything to do with grain'.

The result: a flaker whose innovative design fits into the modern kitchen and modern nutrition-conscious diet.

The housing

Robust, heavy and solid, the housing does not appear cumbersome or clumsy, but rather elegant and appealing with its curved sides. The funnel is cleverly integrated into the simple design. It holds up to 300 grams of cereals and grains. The porcelain bowl supplied fits snugly into the recess under the flake ejector.

Crushing mechanism

Behind the removable front panel, which is held in place by four magnets, is the crushing mechanism with two ribbed stainless steel rollers. It can be easily removed without tools. A small bristle brush is included for cleaning. Unfortunately, the pressure or degree of fineness cannot be adjusted.

Crushed material

According to the operating instructions, it can be crushed:

• Cereals and Seeds
  In principle, all cereals up to a certain grain size are suitable. The most common and easiest is to use the oats without pretreatment.
  For other cereals such as wheat, rye, spelt, primeval grain, the grains should be pre-treated accordingly. To do this, moisten it in a sieve and then let it dry (about 5 hours).
• Spices
  Spices such as caraway, coriander, fennel, anise, cinnamon, sea salt can also be squeezed if necessary.
• Not qualified
  Examples are maize, rice, soybeans.

The Drive

An economical motor with only 120 watts is enough to crush about 100 grams of grain into flakes.

test

Because the crushing mechanism is very similar to that of Waldner LISA, we were not surprised by the result of the flakes: beautiful, evenly fine oatmeal with the typical notches in the flakes.

Variants

The Futuria E1 is available in three types of wood: beech, pine or walnut.
