To plan a spice powder production line,we need to consider about the spices which need to be milled, and then we need to consider about the machines we will need.
Usually, a spice factory will grind a lot of different spices.
For example: cinnamon,chilli,ginger,turmeric,black pepper,cumin,coriander seeds....etc
Some spice is big, some spice is small. How to grind so many different spices into powder by just one spice powder line?
Recently we have a client from Palestine,they have a big spice factory which has a long history, they need to expand their factory and ask us to provide a complete spice powder production line for them.
At first, they told us their requirements.
1) Capacity shall be 300~600 kg/hr
2) One spice grinding machines can process all of their spices (they need to grind a lot of spices)
3) They hope the spice powder grinding machines are automatically and sanitary
4) They hope the spice powder is even, powder size around 30 mesh, or around 60 mesh
5) They hope the machines for grinding spices can also make flakes,like chilli flakes,black pepper flakes,not only powder
6) They request a metal detector is designed in the spice grind machine,too
7) They hope there is not much heat produced in the grinding process because heat will affect the spice powder’s quality.
What below is what we designed and provide to them.
This spice grinding line includes 8 machines, they are
1) Belt conveyor
2) BSC coarse crusher
3)BS screw feeder
4）Metal Detector machine
5) BS spice hammer mill
6) Air cooler Machine
7) Spice sifting machine
8) Vacuum feeder
Let’s me explain more about this grinding machines for spices
1) About feeding the raw spices, there are types Popular spice conveyor machines, one is screw feeder, one is belt conveyor.
Belt conveyor is good for sending big raw materials and flakes;
Screw feeder is better for sending small granules or powder like cumin, seeds,grains.
Considering the budget, not many clients can afford two conveyors for only one crusher,and we recommend belt conveyor finally.
2) About BSC coarse crusher,It can break big raw materials into granules or flakes.
For example,we cannot feed cinnamon into the spice powder grinding machine directly.
For material like ginger and turmeric,it is not very big,but if feed the big ginger directly into the spice milling machine, the screen inside the mill will break easily.
Besides, BSC coarse crusher can also crush chilli into chilli flakes and black pepper into small granules rather than spice powder.
3) About spice metal detector machine,there are also two types: belt type and drop type.
Considering the client will process many different spices, we still recommend belt type.
(drop type is chosen for working on powder or very small granules)
Why we add a belt conveyor in this part,not all spices needs to be crushed firstly.
For example, if you need to grind cumin, you just need to feed the cumin in screw feeder which is under the crusher, then the cumin will pass the metal detector and be sent into the spice grinder machine.
Besides,metal is forbidden to be fed into our spice milling machine, metal will harm or ruin the hammers and sieves inside the spice powder mill.
To remove the metal from spices will be very necessary.
4) Spice hammer mill is included by 4 parts: mill part, cyclone,filter box and blower.
There is mesh screen in mill chamber, and it can adjust the powder size by changing different screens. For example, if you need spice powder, you can put 1.5mm screen or 1 mm screens in mill; if you don’t need very fine powder, you can try to change 2mm, 3 mm screens.
The powder will discharged from the cyclone automatically.
And there is no fly dust during production.
5) Air cooler machine sends cold air into the mill chamber of our BS spice powder grinding machine,it will cool the mill chamber. Otherwise,the spice powder discharged from the cyclone is a little hot. The cold air Temperature is around 5 ℃.
6) Spice sifting machine is put under the cyclone of the spice grinder machine.
The lowest output is for fine spice powder, a barrel can be put under it.
The highest output is for coarse spice powder,it is connected with a small stainless steel barrel and at the bottom of it, a vacuum feeder is connected with it.
Spice sifting machine is very popular in spice plants, it can make sure that the spice powder’s size is even
7) Vacuum feeder in this line is used for connect sifting machine and feeder hopper of our grinding machine for spices. (the vacuum hopper is set above the spice mill’s feed part)
For example, we put a 30 mesh sieve in the sifter machine, powder pass the 30 mesh sieve will be discharged from the bottom output of the sifter, and powder cannot pass the 30 mesh will be sent back to the spice milling machine again by the vacuum feeder automatically. (only a few powder cannot pass 30 mesh)
With this siting system,all spice powder we get are fine and even.
Here are some picture of our machine for grinding spices
This is video of our spice powder production line, in this video,we are grinding cinnamon into cinnamon powder.
This is another video of our spice grinding machine, in the video, we are grinding ginger.
In addition to powder grinding machines, our powder mixing machines are also very popular among our clients. Such as double cone mixer, ribbon mixer, V type mixer and so on.
Today I want to share some details of our double cone blender with you, wish it can help you know more about such machine.
Our double cone powder mixer machine is also called W shape powder mixing machine, since it is shaped like “W”. This machine is widely used in pharmaceutical, nutriceutical, chemical and food industries for mixing dry powder or small granules with good flow-ability. It has a good effect on mixing dry powder with high efficiency,free of dead corner and evening mixing.
1) Inlet port: raw materials enter the mixer from the inlet port. If you need to feed the material automatically, we will design a new inlet port then the ZKS vacuum feeder can be connected to the mixer.
2) Agitator: Forced agitator can make mixing effect better if your material is a bit sticky or doesn't flow well.
3) Discharge part: The final product can be discharged by discharge valve.The standard is manual discharge valve, and you can also choose pneumatic discharge valve.
Good comment and buyer show from clients for our double cone blender.
These are one of the good comments from our German and Slovakia customers who purchased such mixer for mixing metal granules and protein powder.
And this is the video taken from our Philippines client who wanted to mix chemical products with our double cone mixer for your reference:
If you have any interest and want to get a detailed offer of a suitable model, just contact us!
Once again, new year is coming.
We will still be in office tomorrow morning... and will be back on Feb 7th.
Wish all my friends and clients the best in the new year of Tiger!
Introduction of Corn Gluten Powder Grinding by BSP Air Classifier Mill
In 2021, a European customer and his Chinese friend spent more than half a year looking for a corn gluten powder superfine pulverizer.
The European customers used corn gluten powder to make honey food and had very high fineness requirements.
The customers said that the Air Classifier Mills of many companies look similar in appearance,
but the crushing effects are very different, which can not meet his requirements at present.
At the end of August, this European client found our company.
After in-depth communication, in order to ensure that our BSP Air Classifier Mill is what he wants,
we bought corn gluten and did the crushing tests for him on September 1st.
The crushing report is sorted as follows:
1. Machine name: BSP-350 Air Classifying Mill
2. Name of raw material: Corn gluten (It has germ)
Customer's requirements on our BSP Air Classifying Mill for Corn Gluten Powder Grinding :
The fineness of finished products:
1)D90: 50 micron (270 mesh)
2)D90: 30 micron (600mesh)
3)D90: 80 micron (180 mesh)
Capacity: 100kg/h above
Our Parameter setting while grinding:
Frequency of grading: 30Hz
Frequency of feeding: 5Hz
This is video of our Corn Gluten Powder Grinding by our BSP Air Classifier Mill
This is Particle size test report of corn gluten by our BSP acm grinder.
Result Analysis:
A) About capacity for D90: 50 micron (270 mesh):
BSP-350 Air Classifier Mill is about 20kg/h;
BSP-500 Air Classifier Mill is about 100-200kg/h.
B) About the fineness of finished products:
D90:61.11um.
This European client said that the crushing results of others were D90:150um, D90:120um and D90:106um...etc.
He is pleasantly surprised by our test results (D90:61.11um) and He is most satisfied with the results.
Due to the limitation of the epidemic, this European client was unable to come to China.
So he asked his Chinese friend to visit our factory.
We did crushing tests with corn gluten on site and showed him.
The customer's friend said that he was impressed by this trip. He praised that our machines were very advanced,
many details were different from others, and our engineer team was also very professional!
He has visited nearly 20 factories, and our mills are also his most satisfied.
2 days later, this European customer sent an email to our sales.
He said that our ACM Mill is what he wants, he needs the machine urgently and wants to place an order soon,
but he still wants to see our machine in person.
We shared many cases of European customers who bought our BSP Air Classifier Mill and sent him many buyer show videos.
After contact, a Polish customer agreed to let the European customer visit his factory.
So we gave him the contact information of this Polish customer.
Later the client said that he had been in touch with our Polish client.
In December,2021,
this European client ordered BSP-500 ACM grinder from our company.
Introduction of air classifying mill
The name of this machine is because there is an air classifier in the mill chamber.
For coarse powder,a sifting machine can do the classifying work well, but for fine powder, it will be very very low efficient.
That's why for fine powder,we need to use air to do the classification work to avoid blocking.
Besides, if you need superfine powder like 200 mesh, 300 mesh, to use a sifting machine will be almost impossible.
This is picture of our BSP-750's classifier, you can see, it is like a wheel with gaps.
When it rotates fastly, the gap which air can pass will be smaller.
To make it ratates faster, you can get finer powder; To make it rotates slower, you will get coarser powder.
But air classifier cannot process some material, material contains high sugar,or high oil will get stuck it.
That's why there are many different grinding mills.
This is technical data of our best selling models of our BSP air classifier mill.
Remark: the four models are our best sellings, if you need bigger or smaller models, we can also provide it.
This machine consists 5parts:
1) mill part
2) cyclone
3) filter box
4) blower
5) control box
Not like other grinder machines, BSP acm mill must work with the discharging system.
Only the mill part, this machine cannot work.
Application of our BSP acm grinder.
Most of our clients make food products and chemical products, which request stainless steel machines.
For example, grain,herbs,sugar,chemical raw materials.
More videos of our BSP air classifier mill, in this video, the model is BSP-750
If your raw materials contain a lot of sugar and oil, and you need to make fine powder,
our cryogenic mill can help you.
