Spanish term or phrase: maquinaria de la molienda
Aparece en la descripción de un molino de agua antiguo:

"Conserva buena parte de la estructura exterior, como el canal que recogía agua del río. Cuando se le abría paso, el agua caía con fuerza accionando el rodete y poniendo en marcha toda la ***maquinaria de la molienda***"

¿Cómo se podría traducir?

¡Gracias!

mill/milling machinery
Explanation:
Me parece que el término hace referencia a la maquinaria de todo el molino en sí (y los procesos que conlleva) y no a un proceso particual entre otros procesos del molino.
Una de las entradas de "molienda" en el diccionario de la RAE es "6. f. p. us. molino (‖ máquina para moler)", un término poco usado y que puede tener sentido ya que tu texto es sobre un molino de agua antiguo.
De no ser así, te recomiendo "grinding machinery" o "crushing machinery", dependiendo del proceso particular al que se refiera tu texto.

¡Saludos!

grinding machinery


Explanation:
This early 19th-century watermill still holds all its hoisting and grinding machinery...

The mill contains two complete sets of corn grinding machinery driven by two internal waterwheels.
https://www.ourwarwickshire.org.uk/content/catalogue_her/roc...

A post mill was the earliest form of windmill, in which all the grinding machinery and grain stores were supported by a central vertical post.

  -> Many thanks, Captcha.

agree  neilmac: I thought I preferred "milling", but then a lot of texts and songs came to mind where "grind" is used ("Fee, fi, fo, fum... etc)

  -> Thanks, Neil. Milling to me sounds more like an industrial process, but maybe I'm wrong. / Or maybe it is more in use in North America. / Just seen your reference comment!

Reference: Milling and grinding

Reference information:
At first I was tempted to prefer "milling" in this context, as the text is about a watermill. However, milling is also used in steel production, and once I thought about it, several classic examples of usage of "grinding" in agricultural settings came to mind. In particular, the story of John Barleycorn (see link below).
FWIW, the second link is to my favourite version of the song platform.
