Spice Crusher

What is Spice Crusher?

Spice Crusher is a professional crushing equipment designed for spices such as chili, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, etc. It adopts advanced crushing technology and can crush various spices to different finenesses of 20-2000 mesh at room temperature or low temperature, perfectly retaining the flavor substances and effective ingredients of spices. Our equipment is widely used in food processing, condiment production, pharmaceutical and other industries, and is an ideal choice for increasing the added value of spices.

What are the categories of Spice Crusher?

One-piece Spice Crusher: integrated design, including main engine, induced draft fan, dust collector and electric control box, small footprint, suitable for small and medium-sized processing enterprises.

Split Spice Crusher: each component is independent, with greater processing capacity (80-2500kg/h), suitable for large-scale production.

Ultrafine Spice Crusher: adopts vibration crushing technology, with a fineness of up to 2000 mesh (5μm), and a wall breaking rate of more than 95%, which is particularly suitable for high value-added spice processing.

Low-temperature Spice Crusher: Equipped with a -35℃ freezing system, it perfectly solves the problem of heat loss of heat-sensitive spices (such as capsaicin) during the crushing process

What are the advantages of Spice Crusher?

Fine crushing: The crushing fineness is adjustable from 20 to 2000 mesh to meet different application requirements

Low temperature treatment: Water circulation cooling or mechanical refrigeration to ensure that the spices do not deteriorate due to high temperature

Efficient dust removal: Built-in bag dust removal system, dust recovery rate > 99%, improve the working environment

Material safety: The contact parts are made of 304 stainless steel, which meets the food GMP standards

Multi-purpose: It can handle spices with an oil content of up to 10% (such as sesame and pepper), and the machine will not stick or clog

How does Spice Crusher work?

Spice Crusher adopts the "impact-shear" composite crushing principle:

Coarse crushing stage: The high-speed rotating hammer/blade and the fixed toothed disc produce strong impact to initially crush the spices

Fine crushing stage: The materials collide and rub against each other in the machine cavity to further reduce the particle size

Classification stage: The final particle size is controlled by the screen, and qualified particles are discharged by centrifugal force

Dust removal and recovery: The dust is sucked into the bag dust collector by the induced draft fan to achieve clean production

For the ultra-fine crusher, high-frequency vibration crushing technology is used to make the material subject to high acceleration impact in the fluidized state to achieve the cell wall breaking effect

How effective is spice crushing?

Spice type	Grinding particle size (mesh)	Main application scenarios	Technical features
Chili	20-60 mesh	Chili sauce, hot pot base	Coarsely crushed to maintain fiber structure
	60-120 mesh	Chili powder, seasoning	Fine grinding improves flavor uniformity
	200-500 mesh	Chili essence extraction, medical application	Ultrafine grinding improves bioavailability
Zanthoxylum	40-80 mesh	Seasoning	Retain complete numbing substances
	100-200 mesh	High-end food/health products	Enhance the release rate of numbing flavor
Star anise/cinnamon	60-100 mesh	Meat stew, marinade bag	Control particle size to maintain aroma persistence
	Ultrafine grinding	Essential oil extraction, functional food	Increase the dissolution rate of effective ingredients (+30%)
Compound spices	Customized particle size	Pre-prepared food seasoning, convenience food	Special blade design ensures mixing uniformity of >98%
