Application
The tower mill was more powerful than the water mill, able to generate roughly 20 to 30 horsepower. There were many uses that the tower mill had aside from grinding corn. Tower Mills fueled a society that was steadily growing in its need for power by providing a service to other industries as well:
- The production of pepper and other spices
- Lumber companies used them for powering sawmills
- Paper companies used to change wood pulp into paper
Other sources argue against this claiming there is no real evidence, specifically, of tower mills doing these things.
