Commercial Spice Pulverizers
Size reduction is a critical process for creating high-quality spices that will please your customers. This process faces many challenges, like heat-induced quality loss, energy consumption and material stability. Pulva has a wide range of
grinding equipment for spice manufacturers and eight decades of experience overcoming obstacles to pulverize excellent spices.
Particle Size Reduction Solutions for the Spice Industry
Particle size has a significant impact on the texture, mouthfeel and processing of spice food products. The size of each particle influences the reactivity, flowability and solubility of the ingredients.
Achieving the desired particle size distribution often differs for various spices because some need to be frozen while others may require greater rotor speed due to hardness. For example, a hammer mill uses pulverization to create spices ground to the desired size without compromising the aroma or flavor with a compression method that uses heat. Hammer mills can handle many types of spices, including cinnamon, coriander, oregano, pepper and more.
High oil content spices like nutmeg and mace require a different process — cryogenic grinding. The cryogenic grinding process cools spices to embrittlement temperature with liquid nitrogen before sending them to the grinding mill, ensuring optimal particle size. Removing the heat helps the spices retain their best flavor and prevents volatile components of the spices from dissipating. The right hammer mill for spice grinding helps manufacturers create the perfect solution that balances consistency and flavor for customers.
Pulva's Particle Size Reduction Equipment for the Spice Industry
Pulva offers a wide range of equipment solutions for every stage of the size reduction process, from pilot plant testing and research and development phases all the way to full-scale production. The Pulvette is a solution designed for the first stages in the process. It uses a 1HP main drive motor with a 7/8-inch diameter feed screw to fit the needs of small manufacturers.
There are also six other Pulva-Sizer™ models ranging from A to F. The Model A is perfect is a compact tool ideal for laboratory and research and development work, while the Model F is a large-scale device designed to produce high quantities of medium-fine spices. Every model between A and F comes with a different balance of size, speed and power to match your needs.
We also offer cryogenic feeder attachments designed to allow cryogenic grinding. This process occurs when liquid nitrogen is used to bring materials to their embrittlement temperatures. Embrittlement temperature allows difficult spices to be ground to the point of friability and ensures an optimal flavor profile.
Pulva also offers customized equipment solutions designed in our world-class laboratory facilities to meet your specifications and production needs.
