How to Make Ultrafine Shrimp Shell Powder with YDWF Air Classifier Mill
Shrimp shells, often regarded as a by-product of seafood processing, are rich in protein, calcium, chitin, and other valuable nutrients. Converting these shells into Ultrafine Shrimp Shell Powder not only helps reduce waste but also produces a high-value ingredient suitable for animal feed, nutritional supplements, and functional food applications. Producing ultra-fine shrimp shell powder consistently requires specialized equipment that can control particle size and preserve nutrients. One of the most effective solutions is the YDWF Shrimp Shell Air Classifier Mill, which we will describe in detail below.
What is YDWF Shrimp Shell Air Classifier Mill
The YDWF Shrimp Shell Air Classifier Mill is a specialized machine designed to produce consistent Ultrafine Shrimp Shell Powder. It integrates grinding and air classification into a single system, enabling precise control of particle size while preserving the nutritional value of shrimp shells. The mill can produce powder ranging from 80 to 320 mesh (approximately 45–180 microns), making it suitable for feed applications and high-value functional ingredients.

It consists of a main grinding chamber, connecting pipes, a cyclone discharge unit, a dust collection system, and a blower. It operates without sieves or screens, and produces material with uniform particle size. The production process is continuous.

Working Principle of YDWF Shrimp Shell Moulin classificateur d'air
Shrimp shells enter the YDWF Air Classifier Mill through a funnel and spiral conveyor, where high-speed blades shear and crush the material in the grinding chamber. The particles then move into the classification chamber, where the revolving classifier wheel uses centrifugal force and airflow to separate them.
Larger particles are returned to the grinding chamber for further milling, while smaller particles are carried by negative-pressure airflow to the cyclone separator and collector. The result is uniform UltraFine Shrimp Shell Powder that meets precise particle size requirements.
Key Features and Advantages
- Precise Particle Size Control: The powder fineness is adjusted by controlling the classifying wheel speed. Oversized particles are automatically returned for further grinding until the desired 80–320 mesh size is achieved, ensuring uniform and consistent output.
- High Efficiency:Integrated grinding and classification enable continuous operation with stable airflow and high throughput, reducing processing time and energy use.
- Hygienic and Durable Design: Made of food gradeSS304/316L with fine polishing treatment, the mill is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and meets food and feed safety standards.
- Reliable Bearing and Sealing System: SKF sealed bearings reduce heat and wear, while tight sealing prevents leakage and ensures smooth, long-term performance.
- Flexible Model Options:Multiple models are available to meet different production needs, from small-scale startups to large industrial lines, and customized designs are supported to match specific processing requirements
Applications of Ultrafine Shrimp Shell Powder
- Animal Feed:A natural source of protein, calcium, and chitin, improving digestibility and nutrient absorption.
- Nutritional Products:Used to extract chitin, chitosan, and astaxanthin for supplements and health foods.
- Food Industry:Enhances flavor, texture, and nutritional value as a natural additive.
- Agriculture:Serves as an organic fertilizer or soil conditioner, enriching minerals and organic matter.
Necessary Accessories: Industrial Air Cooling Chiller
When producing UltraFine Shrimp Shell Powder, controlling the temperature during grinding is crucial. High-speed milling generates heat, which can affect particle quality and reduce nutrient retention. An Industrial Air Cooling Chiller is therefore an essential accessory for the YDWF Air Classifier Mill.

Cooling Solution: Air Chiller Assisted by Mill Blower
Within the YDWF Air Classifier Mill setup, cold air from the Industrial Air Cooling Chiller is delivered only through the mill’s blower, not by the chiller itself. This ensures that during grinding, UltraFine Shrimp Shell Powder is cooled without direct airflow hitting the material, preserving its natural properties.
Conclusion
Producing Ultrafine Shrimp Shell Powder with the YDWF Air Classifier Mill ensures consistent particle size, preserved nutrients, and high-quality powder suitable for animal feed, nutritional products, food, and agriculture. The mill’s blower, combined with the Industrial Air Cooling Chiller, protects heat-sensitive components like proteins and chitin, making the process efficient and reliable.
