- Cryogenic Grinding System
Cryogenic grinding of herbs and spices involves powdering these elements at sub-zero temperatures ranging from 0 to – 196°C. The elements are frozen with liquid nitrogen, as they are being ground. This process does not damage or alter the chemical composition of the main elements in any way. Standard grinding process which does not use a cooling system can reach up to +200°F. This high temperature can reduce volatile components and heat sensitive constituents in spices.
The heat is developed inside the Grinding Mill
Temperature below 0*c inside the grinding mill
The heat, which is developed during grinding, leads to evaporation of the essential oil and on the other hand, heat sensitive fats are melted
Negligible loss of volatile component
This leads to grinding elements becoming greasy and harms the machine by blocking it
This does not happen in Cryogenic process
High Energy Consumption
Low energy consumption
High Capacity Motors are required to grind the material
Low capacity motors are required to grind the material
Essential value of material is evaporated
No evaporation of essential value
No control on particle size
Particle size is under controlled
