Vlog | " Moara cu apa " Brasov , Ohaba

The water mill from Ohaba, Sinca commune, Brasov county, was built in 1873, and the current owner is part of the fourth generation that carries on the family tradition. Currently, it is the only mill with functional water in Tara Fagarasului. During the time of the communists, the owner's grandfather did hard years in prison because he did not want to give up the mill to them. The only source of energy is the flow of water, the entire starting and operating assembly being on wooden belts and rollers. "We tried to keep it and preserve it as it was, without any improvement," my host tells me. All the parts are original and date from 1873. Two millstones are used to grind the grains: one fixed and one movable (the movable one rotates and crushes the grains). These stones are manufactured in Lyon, France in 1873 and have never been changed. Their repair is done with special hammers that maintain the ricers that grind the grains. With these millstones and with the help of the separator, wheat can be ground to obtain three types of flour and corn can be ground to obtain malai. With the help of a screw, the mobile stone is raised from the fixed stone and depending on the height, the desired graining is obtained. The straps are huge and made of textured rubber.
