Food safety isn’t just a checkbox anymore—it’s a business imperative. Consumers want clean-label products. Exporters demand compliance. Regulators are tightening the rules. And in the middle of it all, spice processors are under growing pressure to ensure that every batch is consistent, safe, and contaminant-free.
That’s where MillNest steps in. We help you go beyond surface-level safety. Our integrated spice processing solutions—featuring steam sterilisation, pneumatic conveyor systems, and grinding machines for masala—are designed to protect your spices at every step.
What’s Wrong with Traditional Spice Processing?
Even today, many plants rely on manual handling, open conveyors, and makeshift sterilisation methods. The result? Unseen but serious threats:
-
Microbial contamination (Salmonella, mold, E. coli)
-
Flavor degradation due to overheating
-
Re-contamination after sterilisation
-
Poor hygiene traceability
These weak spots don’t just risk consumer health—they affect your brand reputation and compliance with export standards. That’s why MillNest believes safety should be built into the process, not added as an afterthought.
Step One: Clean from the Core with Steam Sterilisation
Forget harsh chemicals or unreliable UV treatments. MillNest’s steam sterilisation uses superheated, saturated steam to eliminate 99.99% of microbes—safely and effectively.
Why Our Steam System Stands Out:
-
Leaves no chemical residue
-
Retains essential oils and active compounds
-
Supports full automation with real-time controls
-
Validated against key global standards like FSSAI, FSMA & HACCP
From turmeric to ginger and everything in between, your spices exit the steriliser clean, safe, and packed with flavor.
Step Two: Contamination-Free Conveying
Most processors overlook this next part—moving sterilised product safely. Open belts or manual transfers reintroduce risk. That’s why MillNest offers sealed pneumatic conveyor systems to maintain hygiene integrity.
Benefits of Pneumatic Conveying:
-
Prevents airborne and manual contamination
-
Fully enclosed transfer line
-
Gentle on delicate spices
-
Supports allergen separation and cleanroom standards
By linking every unit—steriliser, grinder, blender, and packer—MillNest ensures your spices stay safe from start to finish.
Step Three: Precision Grinding, Preserving Aroma & Safety
Grinding is a critical phase where quality and safety intersect. Too much heat, and you destroy volatile oils. Inconsistent grind sizes? That’s a quality control nightmare.
MillNest solves this with two specialised machines:
-
🌀 Air Classifying Mill (MACM) – Ideal for ultra-fine, heat-sensitive spices like chili and turmeric
-
🔨 Hammer Mill (MHAM) – Best for coarser or fibrous ingredients
Designed with Safety in Mind:
-
Minimal heat generation (3–7°C)
-
Closed-loop system for dust control
-
Uniform particle size for blending accuracy
No matter your grind size or spice type, MillNest machines protect aroma, integrity, and safety.
Step Four: Clean, Consistent Blending
Mixing spices requires precision—and hygiene. MillNest’s Paddle Blender (MPBL) ensures that your blends are consistent and contamination-free.
Features That Matter:
-
Gentle paddle action preserves texture
-
Easy to clean, CIP-ready design
-
No residue or cross-contamination zones
This lets you scale your product range without compromising on safety.
