Hawos Mill Heritage

The motor heart of domestic flour mill

An exceptional warranty for exceptional quality You expect your flour mill to deliver fine flour in sufficient quantity without overloading the motor. The especially resilient, robust industrial motors in hawos flour mill guarantee this. We certify the quality of our motors with a 10-year warranty.

Quiet grinding thanks to patented elastic bedding

We have developed a construction that does not require the motor and grinding attachment to be screwed directly to the housing of the flour mills. This elastic bedding is used in multiple hawos models and noticeably reduces grinding noises.

Small but powerful electric flour mill

Even the smallest hawos mill delivers top performance. We build powerful motors with an output of at least 360 watts. You can compare the mill types in this performance class on the last pages.

The strong flaunt their colours!

The larger hawos models grind using 600-watt industrial motors making them ideal for large families and cooking courses. As the largest hawos flour mill, Pegasus delivers even more power (2 levels of motorisation) and is ideal for use in natural food stores, large kitchens, small bakeries etc.

Protection built in

The high-quality protective switches found in hawos flour mills showcase that for us quality comes down to the finest of details. While visually it is an On/Off switch, it also serves as an intelligent electric circuit breaker that switches the mill off should the stones get blocked for approximately 20 seconds, thereby protecting your motor and stones.

journey of our new Hawos Germany head office construction

On this page we keep you informed about our new building.

Background and construction planning Our new head office with office space, repair facilities, warehouse and underground parking is being built in the Massenheimer Weg in Bad Homburg, only a few hundred meters away from our current location. The planning for the new corporate headquarters has been going on for several years now.After many appointments with the authorities, architects and the general contractor, the third draft was finally approved!

In May 2015, the excavator finally kicked off, but not without encountering some surprises!Before the excavator could start its work on 2,100 square meters of area, a ground survey had to be prepared. These investigations revealed that archaeological findings were suspected. Construction freeze! An archeological team came on site with rakes and brushes and dug in the scorching summer heat.They found historic pieces of pottery from the time of the Romans, which was to be expected by the proximity to the Limes, as well as earth discolourations, which pointed to a settlement during the Celtics (up to 500 BC).

4. September 2015

The excavations are over! To celebrate, the newspaper ‘Taunus Zeitung’ (part of Frankfurter Neue Presse) has published a story on the history of our construction project so far.

The excavation is dredged. Pictured: Architect M. Raufenbarth, builder Ralf Pigge with wife Jutta and sons Sebastian, Johannes, Thomas and grandchild Taylor.
  • The building will be thiiiiiis big!Currently, it is still being investigated whether the floor can be compacted with posts or whether a thicker floor slab has to placed in order to provide the necessary load capacity. Due to this and results of the archaeological findings, the statisticians have to start all over again.
  • Finally it can continue! The foundation is dredged.
December 2015: The first snow. Winter is coming!
  • The foundations for a stable construction are laid and the insulation is ready. Now the concrete just needs to dry.
