The present invention relates to a step crushing method and apparatus. With this technology, the energy required for material grinding can be saved, but the materials are subjected to two-stage grinding at once, so in spice halls, etc.,
It takes a lot of energy to grind the fruit and seed coat together. When spices are crushed with such a large amount of energy, there is a problem that the fragrance of the fruit part is easily damaged. Further, in the above-mentioned pulverization method, there is a problem that the mixing ratio between the fruit part and the seed coat part of the spice tends to be uneven.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for producing a high-quality pulverized spice which has little fragrance deterioration and excellent fragrance.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a spice hole is divided into a fruit part and a seed coat part, and the fruit part is pulverized in a substantially sealed state without being exposed to a high temperature using a roll machine or the like. By separately crushing the seed coat part and mixing the crushed two, the fruit part is crushed without impairing the aroma and the seed coat part is also crushed to a uniform particle size, so if both are mixed, It has been made based on the finding that the above-mentioned problem is effectively achieved.

That is, according to the present invention, the spice hole is divided into a fruit portion and a seed coat portion, and the fruit portion is pulverized at 45 ° C. or lower and substantially in a sealed state. The present invention also provides a method for producing a ground spice, comprising mixing the ground fruit part and the seed coat part. Examples of spice holes to be pulverized in the present invention include coriander, cardamom, salmon, metch, and mustard. The present invention particularly relates to coriander, cardamom,
It is effective for grinding mustard and the like.

Grind to a final particle size below 45 ° C. and substantially sealed. Here, the “substantially sealed state” refers to a state in which the fragrance of spices can be prevented from being deprived by wind force during grinding. Also, in the present invention, the temperature at the time of pulverization is reduced to 45 by using a pulverizer for pulverizing the fruit portion by using forced cooling or natural heat radiation.
C., preferably not more than 40.degree. That is,
If the pulverization temperature exceeds 45 ° C., the aroma of the spice tends to evaporate or deteriorate. Such crushing is performed by a roll machine,
It can be achieved efficiently using a mill, a stamp mill or the like. In this case, it is desirable to grind the fruit portion to a particle size of 100 to 300 μ.

[0007] The seed coat of the spice is ground to a desired final particle size separately from the fruit. To crush the seed coat finely, a disk crusher (colloid mill, rotary crusher, etc.), roller crusher (ring roller mill, ball roller mill, etc.), impact crusher (hammer mill, repulsion crusher, etc.)
And the like can be suitably used. In this case, it is desirable to pulverize the seed coat to a particle size of 50 to 300 μ.

[0008] As described above, by mixing the separately crushed fruit portion and seed coat portion, a high-quality crushed spice with excellent aroma can be produced. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on preferred embodiments. FIG.

[0009] The first roll machine 3 is for opening a spice hole to take out as a fruit portion and a seed coat portion and to crush the fruit portion, and face each other at different speeds in the arrow directions d1 and d2. With two rollers 4 and 5 that rotate
The above processing is performed in the gap between these rollers. Preferred embodiments of the rollers 4 and 5 for achieving the above object are as follows. That is, each of the rollers 4 and 5 is provided with a saw-tooth-shaped tooth pattern on the surface. Driven by The gap between the rollers 4 and 5 can be freely adjusted, and the opening and crushing are performed in the gap between these rollers. In the first roll machine 3, the temperature is naturally set so as not to exceed 45 ° C.

The vibratory shifter 6 is for sifting the fruit portion and the seed coat portion of the spices crushed by the first roll machine 3. If the mesh of the shifter 6 is 6 to 28 mesh, the fruit portion and the seed coat portion of the spice can be sieved reliably.
The second roll machine 7 is a crusher for crushing the fruit portion of the spice sieved by the shifter 6 to the final particle size, and rotates at different speeds in the arrow directions d3 and d4, respectively.
It has book rollers 8, 9 and the crushing takes place in the gap between these rollers.
