Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ginger powder honey production, and in particular to a powder making device and a powder making method for ginger powder honey production. Background Art
[0002] The powdering equipment used in ginger honey production is a key piece of equipment in the food processing industry, and its background technology can be traced back to traditional grinding and mixing processes. Early powdering equipment primarily relied on mechanical grinders, such as hammer mills or blade crushers, to crush dry ginger chunks into powder using the mechanical force of high-speed rotation. However, these devices have significant limitations. For example, the heat generated during the grinding process can easily lead to the loss of volatile active ingredients (such as gingerols) in the ginger powder, thereby reducing product quality. Furthermore, traditional equipment suffers from low screening efficiency and uneven powder size distribution, making it difficult to meet the fineness requirements for high-quality ginger honey powder. As the food industry's demand for retaining functional ingredients increases, researchers have begun exploring low-temperature grinding technologies, such as airflow milling or ultrafine grinding, to minimize the degradation of heat-sensitive ingredients. Simultaneously, modern powdering equipment has gradually incorporated automated control systems, which optimize grinding efficiency and product quality by adjusting parameters such as rotation speed, temperature, and feed rate. Despite this, balancing energy consumption, production efficiency, and nutrient retention remains a core challenge in improving powdering equipment technology.
[0003] In recent years, with the growing consumer demand for natural and healthy foods, ginger powder honey, as a product that combines nutritional and health benefits, has driven further innovation in powder-making equipment technology. Modern powder-making equipment must not only perform basic crushing functions but also integrate mixing, sterilization, and packaging processes to achieve continuous production. For example, some advanced equipment uses an integrated "crushing-mixing-drying" design, which reduces the risk of ginger powder oxidation through a vacuum environment or inert gas protection. Furthermore, the introduction of nanotechnology has made ultrafine grinding possible, allowing the particle size of ginger powder to be controlled at the micron or even nanometer level, thereby improving solubility and bioavailability.
[0004] Existing ginger honey powder production equipment typically requires multiple independent steps, such as cutting, drying, and grinding, resulting in a complex process and low efficiency. In traditional processes, fresh ginger must first be cut manually or mechanically, then dried with hot air or dehydrated in an oven to an appropriate moisture content, and finally fed into a grinder for grinding into powder. This segmented processing not only occupies a large equipment footprint, but also introduces contamination risks due to the transfer of materials between processes. Furthermore, multiple handling processes may cause the effective ingredients of ginger (such as shogaol and zingerone) to be lost due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or oxygen environments. In addition, the coordination of parameters in each link (such as drying temperature and grinding particle size) is poor, making it difficult to achieve precise control, which ultimately affects the quality and stability of ginger honey powder.
[0005] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention designs a powder making device and a powder making method for ginger powder honey production, which solves the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical purpose to be achieved by the present invention is to design a powder making device and a powder making method for the production of ginger powder honey, improve the traditional process of cutting and then grinding, and improve work efficiency.
[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] This powder-making device is primarily used to efficiently process fresh or semi-dried ginger into fine powder to meet the process requirements for ginger honey powder production. The device primarily comprises a housing, a sealing assembly, a drive motor, a cutting mechanism, and a grinding mechanism. These components work together to achieve continuous processing from raw material input to fine powder output.
[0009] The outer shell, the main structure of the device, is made of food-grade stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and hygienic safety. A sealing assembly, consisting of a feed pipe, sealing ring, and air pressure regulating valve, is installed on its side. This assembly prevents dust from escaping and regulates internal airflow to prevent moisture accumulation and powder clumping during grinding. The drive motor is fixed to the outside of the outer shell and connected to the internal cutting and grinding mechanisms via a drive shaft, providing stable power output.
[0010] The cutting mechanism, located at the front end of the outer shell, primarily consists of a high-speed rotating cutting blade and a fixed blade. When raw material (such as fresh ginger) enters the device through the feed tube, the cutting blade rotates rapidly, driven by a motor, breaking the large chunks into uniform, smaller pieces to improve subsequent grinding efficiency. The cut ginger then enters the grinding mechanism, which comprises a moving grinding disc, a stationary grinding disc (serrated plate), and a grading screen. The moving grinding disc, driven by the motor, rotates at high speed, working in conjunction with the serrated plate to perform primary grinding, reducing the ginger to a coarse powder. Centrifugal force then forces the powder into the secondary grinding zone, where it is further refined by precision grinding components (such as a ceramic grinding wheel or ultra-fine grinding teeth).
[0011] During the grinding process, the fineness of the powder can be controlled by adjusting the spacing between the grinding discs or replacing screens with different apertures. Ginger powder that meets the required fineness ultimately falls through the mounting holes at the bottom of the outer shell into a collection cavity, where it is collected by a screw conveyor or a negative pressure suction device. Substandard coarse powder is returned to the grinding area for further processing, ensuring the uniformity of the finished product. By integrating cutting, grinding, and grading functions, this device significantly simplifies the cumbersome process of traditional ginger powder production while avoiding the risk of contamination caused by multiple transfers, making it suitable for the industrial production of high-quality ginger powder honey.
[0012] The outer shell cylinder, as the core component of the powder making device, is made of high-strength stainless steel. Its internal structure mainly includes three parts: grinding assembly, mounting groove and collection cavity. The grinding assembly consists of a dynamic grinding disc and a static grinding disc. It realizes efficient crushing function through precise matching and is installed in the center position inside the outer shell cylinder. The mounting grooves are evenly arranged on the circumference of the inner surface of the outer shell cylinder and adopt a dovetail groove design to fix the static grinding disc and screen assembly to ensure the stability of the grinding process. The collection cavity is located at the bottom of the outer shell cylinder and has a conical structure design. The inner wall is polished to reduce powder residue and is connected to the external collection system through the bottom discharge port to realize continuous production. The outer shell cylinder adopts a modular design as a whole, which is convenient for disassembly, cleaning and maintenance. It is also equipped with an observation window and a detection port to facilitate real-time monitoring of the grinding status and sampling and detection.
[0013] The grinding assembly is the core working part of the powder making device, and is mainly composed of three parts: a grinding plate, grinding teeth, and mounting holes. The grinding plate is made of high-carbon alloy steel and is made through a special heat treatment process. It has excellent wear resistance. The entire plate is embedded in the mounting groove of the outer shell through precision machining to ensure stability during operation. The grinding teeth are evenly distributed on the working surfaces on both sides of the grinding plate and are made of carbide material. Through the optimized design of the tooth angle and arrangement density, efficient shearing and grinding can be achieved. The mounting holes are distributed in a matrix on the surface of the grinding plate. The aperture specifications can be replaced according to the fineness requirements of the product. Each mounting hole can be equipped with a stainless steel filter of different mesh sizes to achieve precise control of the powder particle size. This modular design enables the grinding assembly to flexibly adapt to the production of ginger powder with different fineness requirements, while facilitating maintenance and replacement of wear parts.
[0014] The sealing assembly is an important sealing and feeding mechanism of the powder making device, and is mainly composed of three parts: a sealing cover, a matching ring and a feed pipe. The sealing cover is made of 304 stainless steel and is fixed to the side opening of the outer shell barrel by a flange connection to ensure the strength and sealing of the connection part. The matching ring is installed on the inner side of the sealing cover and is made of food-grade silicone rubber material. It has excellent elasticity and high temperature resistance. It can form a tight fit with the inner wall of the outer shell barrel and effectively prevent dust leakage. The feed pipe is welded to the center of the outer side of the sealing cover and adopts a 45-degree tilt design to facilitate the smooth entry of raw materials into the grinding chamber. A removable dust cover is provided on the upper part of the feed pipe to keep the system closed when not in operation. The entire sealing assembly adopts a modular design, which is easy to disassemble, clean and maintain. At the same time, all surfaces that come into contact with the material are polished to meet the hygiene standards of food processing equipment.
[0015] The cutting mechanism is a key pre-processing component of the powder making device, and is mainly composed of four parts: a rotating shaft, a rotating disc, a rotating ring, and a cutting blade holder. The rotating shaft is made of high-strength alloy steel and is installed in the center of the outer shell through a precision bearing. It is directly connected to the drive motor and can provide stable rotational power. The rotating disc is a circular stainless steel plate, which is vertically fixed to the side of the rotating shaft. Its edge is specially hardened to improve wear resistance. The rotating ring is installed on the outer edge of the rotating disc through a snap-on structure and rotates synchronously with the rotating disc. The cutting blade holders are radially and evenly distributed between the rotating shaft and the rotating ring. Each set of blades is adjustable, and the cutting angle and spacing can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the raw materials. The entire cutting mechanism adopts a dynamic balancing design to ensure stability during high-speed operation. All surfaces in contact with the material are mirror polished and meet food-grade hygiene standards.
[0016] The cutting blade holder is the core working component of the cutting mechanism, and its structural design directly affects the pre-treatment effect of the raw materials. The side of the cutting blade holder is precisely ground to form a sharp cutting blade, ensuring excellent wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness. There are multiple screening through-holes evenly distributed on the surface of the blade holder. The diameter of the through-holes is processed by laser precision punching technology, and the edges are smooth and burr-free. These through-holes can simultaneously realize the preliminary screening of the raw materials during the cutting process. Small pieces of material that meet the size requirements can pass directly into the next process, while larger pieces of material continue to be cut. The entire blade holder is manufactured using a one-piece stainless steel molding process, with high structural strength and easy cleaning and maintenance. All surfaces in contact with the material are electrolytically polished, fully meeting the hygiene standards for food processing equipment.
[0017] The grinding mechanism is the core component of the milling device for achieving fine grinding. It adopts a modular design concept and is mainly composed of five parts: a mounting plate, a telescopic hole, a telescopic slot, a serrated plate, and a grinding assembly. The mounting plate serves as a power transmission component and is connected to the drive spindle through a high-strength coupling. It has excellent impact resistance and wear resistance. There are 6-8 telescopic holes evenly distributed on the radial side of the mounting plate. Adjustable grinding assemblies are installed in the holes. The hydraulic device can achieve precise displacement adjustment of 0.1-5mm to adapt to grinding operations with different fineness requirements. The upper surface of the mounting plate is machined with a circular array of telescopic slots and adopts a T-slot design to facilitate the rapid installation and replacement of the serrated plate. The surface of the serrated plate is designed with serrations at a special angle, forming a shearing and crushing zone with the grinding assembly. The grinding assembly includes a dynamic grinding head and a static grinding ring. It is made of zirconia ceramic material and maintains constant pressure contact through a spring preload mechanism in the telescopic hole to ensure the stability of the grinding effect. All moving parts of the entire grinding mechanism use a food-grade lubrication system and are equipped with temperature sensors to monitor the working status in real time.
[0018] The grinding assembly, as the core working unit of the grinding mechanism, adopts a precise adjustable structural design and is mainly composed of five key components: a telescopic column, a limit block, a connecting block, a telescopic plate and grinding teeth. The telescopic column is made of 45# steel with hard chrome plating and is installed in the slide groove inside the mounting plate through a precision guide rail. The limit block is made of high-strength brass and is fixed to the side of the telescopic column by a set screw for precise control of the grinding gap. The connecting block is cast from aluminum alloy and is connected to the telescopic column through a dovetail groove structure. It has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. The surface of the telescopic plate is mirror-polished and fixed to the connecting block by high-strength bolts. It is spirally arranged on the side of the telescopic plate, and the tooth shape is optimized to achieve efficient shearing and crushing. The entire grinding assembly is equipped with a displacement sensor and a pressure detection device to monitor the working status in real time. All parts that come into contact with the material meet food-grade hygiene standards and are easy to disassemble, clean and maintain.
[0019] The stop block is made of high-strength alloy steel, and its cross-section is precisely machined to a standard rectangular structure to ensure installation accuracy and stability on the side of the telescopic column. The grinding teeth are made of YG8 carbide material. This conical design ensures both grinding strength and effective shearing and crushing of materials. All grinding teeth are evenly arranged in a spiral on the side of the telescopic plate. This special layout forms an efficient grinding track. The surfaces of the stop block and grinding teeth are mirror-polished to meet the hygiene standards for food processing equipment.

[0021] S1: The staff puts the raw materials into the sealing component through the feed pipe, and the raw materials enter the inner part of the outer shell for cutting and grinding;
[0022] S2: The driving motor drives the cutting mechanism to rotate. Under the restriction of the matching ring, the raw material is cut by the cutting blade. Small pieces of raw material can enter the outer shell through the screening hole;
[0023] S3: The telescopic rod drives the grinding assembly to extend and retract, thereby continuously grinding the raw materials;
[0024] S4: Small pieces of raw materials are ground into powder by the serrated plate and telescopic plate in the grinding mechanism, and the raw material powder is ground again by the grinding assembly installed on the mounting slot;
[0025] S5: The grinding plate cooperates with the telescopic plate to perform secondary grinding on the raw material powder. The raw material powder that meets the mesh size passes through the installation hole and enters the collection cavity to be collected uniformly.
[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0027] (1) The ginger powder honey powder making device of the present invention has significant beneficial effects. First, the device adopts an integrated design, integrating the multiple processes of cutting, drying, grinding, etc. in traditional ginger powder processing into a continuous process, which greatly improves production efficiency. Through the combination of optimized cutting mechanism and grinding components, the fresh ginger raw material can be processed automatically from feeding to powdering, saving at least 40% of manual operation time. The core grinding system of the device adopts an adjustable grinding tooth and serrated plate structure, combined with precise temperature control technology, which can effectively retain the heat-sensitive active ingredients such as gingerol and shogaol in ginger. The modular grinding plate design supports the rapid replacement of the filter screen, so that the fineness of the finished powder can be accurately controlled to meet the requirements of ginger powder particle size in different application scenarios. In addition, the fully sealed structure and food-grade materials ensure the hygiene and safety of the production process.
[0028] (2) The present invention reduces energy consumption compared to traditional equipment through innovative telescopic grinding components and grading and screening systems, and avoids energy waste caused by excessive grinding. The intelligent control system can monitor parameters such as grinding pressure and temperature in real time, and automatically adjust the motor speed and feed rate to ensure stable powder quality. The unique air circulation design of the device can complete grinding and drying simultaneously without the need for additional drying steps. The negative pressure dust removal device equipped with the collection system can realize powder recovery and significantly reduce raw material loss. These technical advantages make the device particularly suitable for the industrial production of high-quality ginger powder honey, which increases production capacity compared to traditional equipment. At the same time, the product meets food safety standards and has significant economic benefits and market competitiveness. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0043] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this powder-making device is primarily used to efficiently process fresh or semi-dried ginger into fine powder to meet the process requirements for ginger powder honey production. The device primarily comprises an outer shell 1, a sealing assembly 2, a drive motor 3, a cutting mechanism 4, and a grinding mechanism 5. These components work together to achieve continuous processing from raw material input to fine powder output.
[0044] The outer shell 1, the main structure of the device, is made of food-grade stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and hygienic safety. A sealing assembly 2, consisting of a feed pipe 23, a sealing ring, and an air pressure regulating valve, is mounted on its side. This assembly prevents dust from escaping and regulates internal airflow to prevent moisture accumulation and powder clumping during grinding. A drive motor 3 is fixed to the outside of the outer shell 1 and connected to the internal cutting mechanism 4 and grinding mechanism 5 via a drive shaft, providing stable power output.
[0045] The cutting mechanism 4, located at the front end of the outer shell 1, primarily consists of a high-speed rotating cutting blade 44 and a fixed blade. When raw material (e.g., fresh ginger) enters the device through the feed tube 23, the cutting blade 44, driven by a motor, rotates rapidly, breaking the large chunks of ginger into uniform, smaller pieces to improve subsequent grinding efficiency. The cut ginger then enters the grinding mechanism 5, which comprises a moving grinding disc, a stationary grinding disc (serrated plate 54), and a grading screen. The moving grinding disc, driven by the motor, rotates at high speed, working in conjunction with the serrated plate 54 to achieve primary grinding, reducing the ginger chunks to a coarse powder. Subsequently, the powder enters the secondary grinding zone under the influence of centrifugal force, where it is further refined by a precision grinding assembly 11 (e.g., a ceramic grinding wheel or ultrafine grinding teeth).
[0046] During the grinding process, the fineness of the powder can be controlled by adjusting the spacing between the grinding discs or replacing screens with different apertures. Ginger powder that meets the fineness requirements eventually falls into the collection cavity 13 through the mounting hole 113 at the bottom of the outer shell 1 and is collected by a screw conveyor or a negative pressure suction device. Coarse powder that does not meet the standards is returned to the grinding area for further processing to ensure the uniformity of the finished product. By integrating cutting, grinding, and grading functions, this device significantly simplifies the cumbersome process of traditional ginger powder production while avoiding the risk of contamination caused by multiple transfers. It is suitable for the industrial production of high-quality ginger powder honey.
[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer shell cylinder 1, as the core component of the powder making device, is made of high-strength stainless steel, and its internal structure mainly includes three parts: a grinding assembly 11, a mounting groove 12 and a collection cavity 13. The grinding assembly 11 is composed of a dynamic grinding disc and a static grinding disc, which realizes efficient crushing function through precise matching, and is installed in the center position inside the outer shell cylinder 1. The mounting groove 12 is evenly arranged on the circumference of the inner surface of the outer shell cylinder 1, and adopts a dovetail groove design to fix the static grinding disc and screen assembly to ensure the stability of the grinding process. The collection cavity 13 is located at the bottom of the outer shell cylinder 1 and has a conical structure design. The inner wall is polished to reduce powder residue, and is connected to the external collection system through the bottom discharge port to realize continuous production. The outer shell cylinder 1 adopts a modular design as a whole, which is convenient for disassembly, cleaning and maintenance. It is also equipped with an observation window and a detection port to facilitate real-time monitoring of the grinding status and sampling and detection.
[0048] like Figure 5As shown, the grinding assembly 11 is the core working part of the powder making device, which is mainly composed of three parts: a grinding plate 111, grinding teeth 112 and mounting holes 113. The grinding plate 111 is made of high-carbon alloy steel and is made through a special heat treatment process. It has excellent wear resistance. The entire grinding plate 111 is embedded in the mounting groove 12 of the outer shell tube 1 through precision machining to ensure stability during operation. The grinding teeth 112 are evenly distributed on the working surfaces on both sides of the grinding plate 111 and are made of cemented carbide material. Through the optimized design of the tooth angle and arrangement density, efficient shearing and grinding can be achieved. The mounting holes 113 are distributed in a matrix on the surface of the grinding plate 111. The aperture specifications can be replaced according to the fineness requirements of the product. Each mounting hole 113 can be equipped with a stainless steel filter screen of different mesh sizes to achieve precise control of the powder particle size. This modular design enables the grinding assembly 11 to flexibly adapt to the production of ginger powder with different fineness requirements, while facilitating maintenance and replacement of wear parts.
[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the sealing assembly 2 is an important sealing and feeding mechanism of the powder making device, and is mainly composed of three parts: a sealing cover 21, a matching ring 22 and a feed pipe 23. The sealing cover 21 is made of 304 stainless steel and is fixed to the side opening of the outer shell cylinder 1 by a flange connection to ensure the strength and sealing of the connection part. The matching ring 22 is installed on the inner side of the sealing cover 21 and is made of food-grade silicone rubber material. It has excellent elasticity and high temperature resistance. It can form a tight fit with the inner wall of the outer shell cylinder 1 and effectively prevent dust leakage. The feed pipe 23 is welded to the center position of the outer side of the sealing cover 21 and adopts a 45-degree tilt design to facilitate the smooth entry of raw materials into the grinding chamber. A detachable dust cover is provided on the upper part of the feed pipe 23 to keep the system sealed when not in operation. The entire sealing assembly 2 adopts a modular design, which is easy to disassemble, clean and maintain. At the same time, all surfaces that come into contact with the material are polished to meet the hygiene standards of food processing equipment.

The rotating disk 42 is a circular stainless steel plate, which is vertically fixed to the side of the rotating shaft 41. Its edge is specially hardened to improve wear resistance. The rotating ring 43 is installed on the outer edge of the rotating disk 42 through a snap-fit structure and rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 42. The cutting blade holder 44 is radially and evenly distributed between the rotating shaft 41 and the rotating ring 43. Each set of blades is adjustable, and the cutting angle and spacing can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the raw materials. The entire cutting mechanism 4 adopts a dynamic balancing design to ensure stability during high-speed operation. All surfaces in contact with the material are mirror polished and meet food-grade hygiene standards.
[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the cutting tool holder 44 is the core working component of the cutting mechanism 4, and its structural design directly affects the pre-treatment effect of the raw materials. The side of the cutting tool holder 44 is precisely ground to form a sharp cutting blade 441, ensuring excellent wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness. There are multiple screening through-holes 442 evenly distributed on the surface of the tool holder. The diameter of the through-holes is processed by laser precision punching technology, and the edges are smooth and burr-free. These through-holes can simultaneously realize the preliminary screening of the raw materials during the cutting process. Small pieces of material that meet the size requirements can pass directly into the next process, while larger pieces of material continue to be cut.

[0052] like Figure 8-9As shown, the grinding mechanism 5 is the core component of the powder making device for achieving fine grinding. It adopts a modular design concept and is mainly composed of five parts: a mounting plate 51, a telescopic hole 52, a telescopic slot 53, a serrated plate 54 and a grinding assembly 55. The mounting plate 51 serves as a power transmission component and is connected to the drive spindle through a high-strength coupling. It has excellent impact resistance and wear resistance. There are 6-8 telescopic holes 52 evenly distributed on the radial side of the mounting plate 51. An adjustable grinding assembly 55 is installed in the hole. The precise displacement adjustment of 0.1-5mm can be achieved through a hydraulic device to adapt to grinding operations with different fineness requirements. The upper surface of the mounting plate 51 is processed with a ring array of telescopic slots 53, and a T-slot design is adopted to facilitate the rapid installation and replacement of the serrated plate 54. The surface of the serrated plate 54 is designed with serrated lines of a special angle, forming a shearing and crushing area with the grinding assembly 55. The grinding assembly 55, consisting of a dynamic grinding head and a static grinding ring, is made of zirconia ceramic. A spring preload mechanism within the telescopic hole 52 maintains constant contact pressure, ensuring consistent grinding results. All moving parts of the grinding mechanism 5 utilize a food-grade lubrication system, and temperature sensors monitor operating conditions in real time.
[0053] like Figure 10 As shown, the grinding assembly 55 serves as the core working unit of the grinding mechanism 5 and adopts a precise adjustable structural design. It is mainly composed of five key components: a telescopic column 551, a limit block 552, a connecting block 553, a telescopic plate 554 and a grinding tooth 555. The telescopic column 551 is made of 45# steel plated with hard chrome and is installed in the slide groove inside the mounting plate 51 through a precision guide rail.

[0058] S3: The telescopic rod drives the grinding assembly 55 to extend and retract, thereby continuously grinding the raw material;
[0059] S4: The small pieces of raw materials are ground into powder by the serrated plate 54 and the telescopic plate 554 in the grinding mechanism 5. The raw material powder is then ground again by the grinding assembly 11 installed on the mounting slot 12.
[0060] S5: The grinding plate 111 cooperates with the telescopic plate 554 to perform secondary grinding on the raw material powder. The raw material powder that meets the mesh size passes through the mounting hole 113 and enters the collecting cavity 13 to be collected uniformly.
[0061] The basic formula for this ginger honey is based on honey (70-75%), with 15-20% superfine ginger powder (80-100 mesh), and 5-10% water added for consistency. To enhance flavor and functionality, 1-2% lemon juice can be added for balance, or 0.5% cinnamon powder can be added for added aroma. For long-term storage, low-temperature treatment (heating the honey no higher than 45°C) and pH adjustment (adding lemon juice to a pH ≤ 4.0) are recommended to extend shelf life.
[0062] The preparation process involves slicing fresh ginger and drying it at low temperature (50-60°C) to a moisture content of ≤8%. The ginger is then ground into a fine powder to prevent clumping. Honey is heated to 40-45°C over water before slowly adding the ginger powder and stirring until a smooth consistency is achieved. The finished product can be adjusted for spiciness (by adjusting the ginger powder ratio or using different ginger varieties) or sweetness (by reducing the amount of honey and adding pectin to stabilize the texture).
[0063] Ginger powder honey has a wide range of uses. It can be directly mixed with hot water at a ratio of 1:10, used as a baking ingredient (replacing 5-10% of sugar), or used as a base for sauces. To address specific health needs, the formula can be enhanced, such as by adding 5% vitamin C to boost immunity or a small amount of black pepper to improve gingerol absorption. Overall formula design must balance flavor, functionality, and process feasibility.
[0064] During operation, the operator first feeds pre-processed ginger raw material into the system through the feed tube 23 on the sealing assembly 2. Once the raw material enters the outer shell 1, the drive motor 3 immediately activates, driving the cutting mechanism 4 to rotate at high speed. The raw material is precisely guided to the cutting area by the limiting action of the mating ring 22 of the sealing assembly 2. The high-speed steel cutting blades 441 on the cutting tool holder 44 perform primary crushing of the raw material, cutting large chunks of ginger into uniform small pieces. Chunks that meet the required size pass through the screening holes 442 provided on the cutting tool holder 44 to the next process step, while larger chunks continue to be cut.
[0065] During the grinding phase, the hydraulic system precisely moves the telescopic column 551 of the grinding assembly 55, driving the telescopic plate 554 and grinding teeth 555 in reciprocating motion. The raw material is first crushed into a coarse powder in the primary grinding zone formed by the serrated plate 54 and the telescopic plate 554. The coarse powder then enters the secondary fine grinding zone, formed by the grinding plate 111 and the telescopic plate 554, where it is finely ground using an adjustable grinding gap and filters of varying mesh sizes. The entire grinding process is controlled by a PLC system.
[0066] Finally, the ginger powder, which has reached the target fineness, is centrifugally transported through the precisely designed mounting holes 113 on the grinding plate 111 and into the collection system. The collection cavity 13 utilizes a negative pressure suction design, coupled with a screw conveyor to continuously discharge the finished ginger powder. The entire process, from raw material input to finished product collection, is fully automated, effectively preserving the heat-sensitive nutrients in ginger. During operation, all sealing elements remain tightly sealed, ensuring no dust escape, meeting food safety requirements.
