Air classifier mill (ACM) is a highly efficient ultra-fine grinding equipment that combines grinding and classification. It is widely used in fields such as chemical engineering, food, medicine, minerals, etc., and it is especially suitable for fine processing of heat-sensitive, fibrous and high-value materials, e.g: turmeric, chili peppers, traditional Chinese medicines, calcium carbonate, etc. In this article, we are going to talk about the advantages of processing Turmeric by using air classifier mill.
Advantages of processing turmeric by air classfier mill
1. Efficient and fine grinding
Ultra-fine powder: ACM can produce powders with D50 < 20μm, even up to micron level (such as 5-10μm). This significantly improves the solubility and taste of turmeric, making it suitable for high-end food or health products.
Low temperature processing: Air flow grinding and classification can avoid heat generation due to mechanical friction to protect curcumin and volatile oils.
2. Precise particle size control
Built-in dynamic classifier: The classifying wheel speed can be adjusted in real time to accurately separate qualified and unqualified particles. This can ensure a narrow particle size distribution, to avoid coarse particles affecting quality.
Flexible adjustment: By adjusting parameters such as air flow velocity and classifying wheel speed, different fineness can be quickly switched. The coarse powders are for seasonings, and ultra-fine powders for instant products.
3. High active ingredient retention
Low thermal damage: Compared with traditional grinding (such as hammer mill, which may locally heat up to over 60°C), low temperature processing increase the retention rate of curcumin by 5-15% and reduce the loss of volatile oils.
Closed system: The fully enclosed structure reduces oxidation and loss of volatile oils. This is especially suitable for volatile ingredients, such as turmerone in turmeric.
4. Automation and high output
Continuous production: ACM can achieve 24-hour continuous operation, with capacity of 100-1000kg/h (depending on the model), and it is suitable for industrial large-scale production.
5. Low pollution
The metal-free design (such as ceramic lining) avoids iron ion contamination and maintains the natural golden color of turmeric.
Precautions during processing
Raw material pre-treatment: Before turmeric raw material entering air classifier mill, it needs to be properly pre-treated, such as cleaning, drying, grinding, etc., to remove impurities and moisture. This can ensure the particle size and humidity of the raw material meet the requirements of the equipment, and improve processing efficiency and product quality.
Parameter adjustment: According to the characteristics of turmeric and the required fineness, reasonably adjust the various parameters of air classifier mill, such as: air flow velocity and classifying wheel speed.
Prevent pollution: During the processing, strictly prevent the equipment itself and the surrounding environment from contaminating turmeric powder, clean and maintain the equipment regularly, and use materials and accessories that meet hygiene standards.
