The edge runners are located in separate extension of the mill and is driven by the camshaft. The camshaft rotates just above the first floor and also drives the stamps. The edge runners consist of two ashlar runners which rotate on a cast iron platform. The runners have a diameter of 1,25m and a thickness of 28cm. Each runner has a weight of 0,8 metric tons. The gear ratio between the windshaft and the edge runners is 1:0,49. This means that the speed of the edgerunners is normally between 7 and 9 rounds per minute.
