We conducted three experiments to determine effect of particle size, mill type, and added fat on flow characteristics of ground corn. In Experiment 1, corn was ground with either a hammer mill or a roller mill to produce six samples with different particle sizes.

Particle size for corn ground with a hammer mill ranged from 980 to 390 microns with standard...
