Facts and practical information

't Nupke is a windmill built in 1843. The mill is built on a 2.5 m high belt. The land on which it is built used to be called 't Nupke, which means hump among other things. It is a natural elevation of +/- 1 meter in the terrain. In 1980 the mill received its current name from the first volunteer miller Vlemmix. The mill is located at the Molenakker 3 in Geldrop.

There are 2 pairs of grinding stones. A pair of 17der artificial stones and a pair of 17der natural stones. Both grinding stones are grinding ready, and are used according to the needs.

The sails are Old Dutch. The 4.5 m long, wooden upper shaft has a cast iron insertion head from the Kempense IJzergieterij en Smederij A. v. Aerschot.

The catch is a Flemish block catch with catch drum and consists of four pieces.

The mill is set to the wind with a cruiser attached to the tail. The roofed cap rotates on an English wheelbarrow.

For grinding grain, a couple of 17der artificial stones, a couple of 17der natural stones and an electrically driven couple of 90 cm are present.

The lazy-work, used to lift the bags of grain, is a trailing-edge lazy-work.
