I have learned that airflow mills such as the MP2-350YS series handled by Yamamoto Seisakusho are new milling machines that enable fine milling of rice flour. How much does it cost to produce such a machine?

The MP2-350YS series does not have a manufacturer's suggested retail price. Due to the small number of units produced and the impact of the rising prices of materials (materials and purchased parts) at the time of order, Currently, the price is over 8 million yen.

I see.
So next, why is rice more difficult to grind than wheat, even though they are the same grain? is more difficult to grind to a fine grain than wheat?

The main reason is that rice is harder than wheat.
