Introduction
Onion is one of the most widely used vegetables and spices across global cuisines, and its powdered form—onion powder—has become an essential ingredient in food processing, seasoning blends, and flavor enhancement. As demand for high-quality, fine onion powder continues to grow in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, the need for efficient, hygienic, and scalable powder processing solutions becomes crucial.
At Yinda Machinery, we specialize in providing complete and customized powder processing systems, from coarse crushing to ultra-fine grinding. For dried onion flakes, we offer a seamless line of machines including coarse crushers, hammer mills, and ultra-fine pulverizers, ensuring efficient, dust-free, and food-grade processing from start to finish.
Step 1: YDCS Series Onion Coarse Crusher:2-20mm Onion Flakes
Dried onion flakes are usually the starting material for onion powder production. Due to their irregular shape and light, fibrous texture, they need to be reduced in size before entering fine grinding equipment.
Yinda YDCS Series Coarse Crusher is designed specifically to handle bulky, fibrous materials like dried onions. Its stainless steel construction ensures hygienic operation, while the knife-type rotor breaks the flakes into smaller granules without overheating or losing volatile compounds.

Key Features:
– Stainless steel body for food-grade compliance (SS304 or SS316L)
– Adjustable output size through inter changeable screens
– Low heat generation to preserve aroma and quality
– Easy to clean and maintain
The output size from the coarse crusher is typically around 2–20mm, which is suitable for feeding into a hammer mill or fine grinder for further grinding.
Step 2: YDGS series Onion Hammer Mill: Medium Grinding
Once pre-crushed, the onion granules move to Yinda YDGS Series Hammer Mill for medium grinding. The hammer mill is ideal for spices and herbs like onion due to its balance of cutting, impact, and air movement.

The high-speed rotating hammers create a turbulent air environment that reduces the onion granules to a fine, consistent powder. This stage is typically used for producing 20-100 mesh onion powder for general seasoning and food additive purposes.
Key Features:
– Widely used for crushing high fiber content materials and spice
– Available in various sizes for lab to industrial scale
– Dust-free operation with cyclone and pulse dust collector
– Easy disassembly for cleaning and product changeover
For many food applications, the hammer mill alone produces sufficient fineness. However, for high-end applications like pharmaceutical-grade onion extract powders, finer particle sizes are required.
Step 3: YDWF Series Air Classifier Mill: Ultra-Fine Onion Powder Grinding
For applications requiring ultra-fine onion powder, often 100-400 mesh, we recommend Yinda YDWF Series ACM mill. This machine uses high-speed airflow and classifier wheels to create micro-particles with uniform distribution.

The YDWF series Onion Ultra-Fine Air Classifier Mill is capable of processing onion powder to 100-400 mesh, making it suitable for use in dietary supplements, instant soups, seasoning blends, and natural flavoring agents. The internal grading system ensures that only powder with the desired fineness is collected, while larger particles are automatically returned for regrinding.
Key Features:
– Built-in classifier for consistent particle size control
– GMP-compliant stainless steel design
– Easy to operation, and can quick cleaning and maintenance
– Closed-loop system with optional explosion-proof configuration
This system is particularly useful when you need uniform particle size, high throughput, and low contamination risk.
