How to Choose Industrial Herb & Spice Mill Grinder Machine?
Producing uniform, high-quality spice powder requires selecting the right spice grinding machine based on spice type, oil content, hardness, capacity requirements, and the target fineness. Because different spices behave very differently during grinding, YINDA Machinery provides specialized grinding solutions to match each production need. This article outlines how to select the correct equipment and presents the working principles, features, and parameters of three core grinding systems.
Why Different Spices Need Different Grinding Machines
Spices such as pepper, turmeric, chili, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and dehydrated vegetables differ in:
- Hardness and brittleness
- Oil or fiber content
- Heat sensitivity
- Moisture volatility
- Target powder fineness (coarse, fine, or ultra-fine)
This is why choosing the proper spice grinding machine is essential to ensure stable output, consistent particle sizes, and flavor retention.
- For Low-Oil Granular Spices – 40–80 Mesh
Recommended Machine: YDWS Series Spice Grinding Machine Pin Mill
For granular and low-oil spices such as sugar granules, black pepper seeds, salt crystals, and similar crystalline materials, the YDWS series Spice Grinding Machine Pin Mill is the ideal solution for producing 40–80 mesh uniform powder.

Working Principle
Inside the mill, two pin discs rotate in opposite or same directions. Materials enter from the center and undergo:
- High-speed pin-to-pin impact
- Collisionaction
- Centrifugal forcetogether with the screen sieve
This ensures fast pulverization with controlled heat generation.
Key Features
- Best for low-oil, granular spices needing 40–80 mesh.
- Uniform, sharp particle shape ideal for spice blends.
- Compact, food-grade design for easy cleaning.
- Multifunctional to fit other materials.
Technical Parameters – YDWS Pin Mill
- For High-Fiber Spices with 10–15% Oil Content – 20–60 Mesh
Recommended Machine: YDGS Series Spice Grinding Machine Hammer Mill
For spices containing 10–15% natural oil and high fiber content, such as chili, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom, the grinding process requires strong impact force and controlled temperature. These materials tend to smear or stick inside fine-impact mills, so the YDGS Series Spice Grinding Machine Hammer Mill is the most reliable solution for achieving 20–60 mesh powder.

Working Principle
The YDGS Series Spice Grinding Machine Hammer Mill uses multiple high-speed rotating hammers to repeatedly impact the material. Under the combined effect of airflow (come from the air cooled chiller), impact force, shear action, and the internal screen system, the mill ensures:
- Efficient crushing of fibrous and tough materials
- Stable grinding without overheating
- Screen-controlled fineness between 20–60 mesh
- The final particle size is determined by changing the screen mesh.
Key Features
- Excellent for 10–15% oil content and high-fiber spices like chili, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.
- Reduces overheating, maintaining natural color and aroma.
- High throughput, suitable for medium to large-scale spice processing lines.
- Easy cleaning and quick screen change for flexible powder size control.
Technical Parameters – YDGS Hammer Mill
- For Ultra-Fine Spice Powder – 100–300 Mesh
Recommended Machine: YDWF Series Spice Grinding Machine ACM Mill
When the goal is fine seasoning powder, premium spice blends, or extract-grade materials, the YDWF ACM Mill achieves ultra-fine, stable powder consistency within 100–300 mesh.

Working Principle
- The ACM Mill integrates:
- High-speed rotor grinding
- Adjustable particle size under the VFD
- Air classifier precision control
- The classifier wheel automatically separates qualified fine powder while coarse material circulates back for re-grinding.
- The cyclone separator system for discharging.
- Together with the Air cooled chiller to achieve low temperature.
Key Features
- Perfect for ultra-fine spice powder, high-value extracts, curry powder, masala, and seasoning premixes.
- Together with the air cooled chiller, Low-temperature grinding system protects essential oils and natural colors.
- Closed-loop airflow, dust-free, and higher yield.
- Highly efficient compared to traditional pulverizers.
