How to Achieve Cumin Seeds Powder for Blend Spice Production
Cumin seeds powder—commonly known as cumin powder—is one of the most essential ingredients in global spice formulations, especially in masala blends, seasoning mixes, and ready-to-cook flavor systems. With the rising demand for blended spices, food brands and spice processors need efficient, hygienic, and reliable grinding solutions to achieve stable powder fineness and consistent product quality.
At Yinda Machinery, we provide a complete range of cumin seeds grinding machines tailored for different production scales, covering everything from small-batch processing to high-capacity industrial applications. Below is your complete guide to selecting the right machine to produce high-quality cumin powder for various blend spice recipes.
Small Capacity Cumin Powder Production (30–150 kg/hr)
Yinda YDWS Series Cumin Grinding Machine – PIN MILL
Yinda YDWS series cumin grinding machine PIN MILL
For laboratories, small factories, boutique spice brands, and pilot-scale production, the YDWS series pin mill offers the most flexible and efficient solution.
Working Principle
The pin mill utilizes the combined action of a fixed blade and a rotating blade to generate high-speed impact and shearing. This structure is especially suitable for cumin seeds, which contain natural fibers and moderate oiliness.
To enhance grinding efficiency, the YDWS pin mill adopts a hybrid design of hammer blades + fixed blades, allowing it to achieve 20–120 mesh cumin powder depending on the selected screen size.
Once the material enters the crushing chamber, the qualified cumin powder passes through the pre-set screen size and is discharged automatically—ensuring consistent particle size and clean, uniform output.
- Best Application Range: 20–120 mesh spice grinding
- Small-scale production: Recipe development and R&D applications
- Start-up spice businesses

However, when production volume exceeds 150 kg/hr, a pin mill’s grinding performance gradually decreases due to heat buildup and limited impact force. For higher capacity requirements, a hammer mill is the more suitable and stable choice.
Large Capacity Cumin Powder Production (150–1000 kg/hr)
Yinda YDGS Series Cumin Seeds Grinding Machine – HAMMER MILL
For industrial spice processors and companies requiring continuous bulk production, the YDGS series hammer mill provides strong power, high throughput, and excellent durability.
Working Principle
The hammer mill uses high-speed rotating knives in combination with a fixed gear ring to perform intensive impact + shearing grinding. This design is highly effective for cumin seeds, which belong to the category of spices with rich fiber structure and 10–15% natural oil content.
The YDGS hammer mill consistently produces 20–60 mesh cumin powder, a fineness range widely accepted in commercial seasoning and masala production.
Why We Recommend Low-Temperature Grinding
Based on our long-term experience, Yinda Machinery recommends pairing the hammer mill with an air-cooled chiller system.
This setup enables continuous circulating airflow inside the crushing chamber:
- Reducing grinding temperature
- Preventing flavor loss
- Avoiding moisture condensation
- Protecting natural volatile oils
- Maintaining the pure aroma and natural color of cumin powder
- The heat generated during grinding is removed through the exhaust system without contaminating the material, ensuring high-quality, fresh-tasting spice powder.

Mixing Cumin Powder into Various Blend Spices
Yinda YDLH Series Blend Spice Mixing Machine – Ribbon Blender
Once the cumin powder is ready, the next essential step is uniform blending. The YDLH series ribbon blender—also known as the ribbon mixer—is specifically designed for powder-to-powder mixing and ideal for composite and complex seasonings.
It ensures:
- Fast and homogeneous mixing
- Gentle handling of spices to preserve aroma
- Stable batch-to-batch consistency
- Hygienic stainless steel construction
- Suitable for food, seasoning, and flavor industries
This blender helps processors develop various masala blends, BBQ rubs, curry powders, snack seasonings, and custom spice formulations for expanding market opportunities.
Working Principle
The ribbon blender uses inner and outer ribbon spirals rotating in opposite directions to create multi-dimensional convection. Materials are lifted, sheared, and mixed simultaneously, achieving complete uniformity in a short time even when combining powders with different properties.
