Herb Pulverizer Guide: 银达 Coarse Crusher, Hammer Mill & 空气分级磨
Why 做 Herb need to be pulverized?
Herbs are widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. From dried roots and barks to aromatic leaves and flowers, these plant-based materials carry therapeutic and functional value. However, in their raw form, herbs are often bulky, fibrous, and inconsistent in size.
To maximize their effectiveness and usability, herbs must be processed into fine powder. Here’s why pulverizing herbs is essential:
– Better bioavailability – Fine powders are more easily absorbed by the body.
– Improved mixing – Powdered herbs blend uniformly with other ingredients.
– Longer shelf life – Reduced volume means easier storage and packaging.
– Versatile applications – Powders can be used in teas, capsules, tablets, ointments, or extractions.
At Yinda Machinery, we offer a full range of herb pulverizing equipment, including a coarse crusher, hammer mill, and ultrafine pulverizer. Each machine is designed for a specific purpose, depending on your raw material and desired powder fineness.
1. Herb Coarse Crusher – Pre-Processing Large Herbal Materials

工作原则：
The YDCS series herbcoarse crusher uses a combination of rotating and fixed blades to cut, shear, and crush large herbal chunks. As the raw material enters the chamber, it is broken down by the high-speed blades and discharged through a screen once it reaches the desired size.
Ideal Use:
For large, hard herbs like dried ginger, angelica root, ginseng, and licorice, this is the first stage of processing before fine grinding.
特征：
– Handles large-sized raw herbs (5–20 mm output)
– Protects fine grinders by reducing the feed size
– Stainless steel construction for GMP compliance
– Easy feeding and discharge
Why Choose This:
It prepares bulk materials for secondary grinding, improving efficiency and extending the life of downstream equipment.
2. YDGS Series Herb Hammer Mill – Medium-Fine Grinding (20–100 Mesh)

工作原则：
The herb hammer mill operates by feeding dried herbs into a grinding chamber. The high-speed hammers strike the material, breaking it into smaller pieces. The crushed material is forced through a perforated screen, determining the particle size. Then by the force of the blower, the powder will go to the cyclone and be discharged, and the ultra-fine powder will be separated into a dust collecting box.
Ideal Use:
Suitable for fibrous herbs and leaves like lemongrass, mint, basil, moringa, and chamomile.
特征：
– Produces powders between 20–100 mesh (850–150 microns)
– Interchangeable mesh screens for adjustable fineness
– Continuous working mode for industrial-scale production
– Simple design, easy cleaning and maintenance
Why Choose This:
Perfect for medium-level powder applications such as herbal teas, capsules, and general formulations.
3. Herb Ultrafine Pulverizer (Air Classifier Mill) – High Precision Grinding (100–300+ Mesh)

工作原则：
The Herb ultrafine pulverizer integrates pulverizing and air classification. Herbs are impacted and broken down by high-speed blades, and the resulting powder is carried into the classification chamber by airflow. A classifier wheel separates fine powder from coarse particles, which are re-circulated for further grinding.
Ideal Use:
Best suited for applications that require high fineness and consistent particle size, such as herbal extract powders, pharmaceutical-grade powders, or cosmetic formulations.
特征：
– Delivers powder fineness from 100 to 300 mesh or finer
– Built-in air classification system ensures consistent particle size
– Minimal heat generation protects sensitive ingredients
– Optional cold air cooling system for heat-sensitive herbs
Why Choose This:
If you’re producing premium-grade or heat-sensitive herbal powders, this is your go-to solution.
Optional Industrial air cooling chiller– For Heat-Sensitive Herbs

During high-speed grinding, friction can generate significant heat, which may degrade volatile oils, active ingredients, or aroma compounds in certain herbs. Yinda Machinery offers an optional Industrial air cooling chiller to prevent overheating during ultrafine grinding.
By circulating chilled air through the grinding chamber, this system keeps the temperature low and stable, making it ideal for:
– Aromatic herbs (e.g., peppermint, oregano, thyme)
– Flower-based ingredients (e.g., chamomile, calendula)
– Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders
Comparison Table: Which Pulverizer to Choose?
| Material Type | Recommended Machine | Output Partile Size |
| Large whole herbs | 粗碎机 | 5-20 mm |
| Fibrous herbs/leaves | 锤磨机 | 20-100 mesh |
| Hig-fineness applications | 空气分级磨 | 100-300 mesh |
| Heat-sensitive herbs | Ultrafine Pulverizer+Chiller | 100-300 mesh or finer |
Conclusion
Herbal pulverizing is not a single-step solution. It requires the right sequence of processing and suitable machinery tailored to the specific nature of your herb and final product. At Yinda Machinery, we offer customized solutions for every stage—from crushing to ultrafine grinding—to help you achieve better productivity, higher powder quality, and more consistent results.
