English term or phrase: our manufacturing facilities comprise of a mill with(x number)conventional looms
Het woord "mill" betekent doorgaans molen, maar in dit verband gaat het om weverijen en spinnerijen. Hoe kan ik dit correct vertalen?

Explanation:
Mill betekent lang niet altijd molen, vaker is het gewoon een fabriek. En soms een weverij:
"Onze productiefaciliteiten bestaan uit een weverij met x conventionele weefgetouwen".
