Mill for Turmeric
By Moinhos Vieira – technical team
Moinhos Vieira manufactures industrial hammer mills for grinding turmeric, serving everything from small operations to large-scale industrial processes.
Our equipment is successfully used for the particle size reduction of turmeric, allowing different levels of grinding according to the needs of each process.
With extensive experience in industrial grinding, we carry out practical tests with turmeric to evaluate equipment performance and help select the most suitable solution for each application.

Technical notes
- Very hard product: it can bend, bulge and even pierce screens; keep spare parts (rotor, screens and hammers) and grind the product already sliced or pre-processed.
- Pre-chop or break on a coarse screen before finishing on a fine screen.
- With high fat it cakes and can make grinding unfeasible; drying, adding food-grade silica and pre-crushing are indicated before micronising.
