Milling of a product is achieved by the wet milling or dry milling process. Dry milling generally cannot break apart a product to conserve its parts for other uses. Wet milling involves additional steps, but the process is able to break a product down into more components, and into finer particles, allowing for the production of a greater variety of byproducts. Wet milling is a more energy-intensive, labor-intensive process, and requires more expensive milling equipment, but can be far more profitable for manufacturers in the end. However, the capital investment for precision, high-energy media mills and skilled labor can be too expensive for many businesses.
