Tea in no time

Suitable for fine grinding of heat sensitive products, Hosokawa Micron’s Micron Glacis GC fine grinding mill is ideal for the high volume grinding of green tea, which is popular both as a beverage and for use in confectioneries.

Its fine grinding and low heat generation produces a tea with good mouthfeel, texture, taste and mellow flavour. The Glacis is able to achieve a high cooling efficiency (7.5 times more than the conventional mechanical mill) by running coolants through the outer liner and grinding rotor.

It offers the particle grinding size accuracy of a jet mill (10-20µm), but with a higher volume capacity and 50% lower energy consumption.
Material is ground by strong impact and shear force generated at the space between the grinding rotor and the liner. Both the grinding rotor and the mill lining are designed with an effective cooling structure, which, alongside the reduced air volume required by the unit for cooling, actively prevents product oxidation and therefore deterioration of the tea quality.
