Audited Supplier Steatite Ceramic Grinding Burr for Dry Herbs & Spices
Our ceramic grinding burrs are typically comprised of 95% alumina or steatite. We usually use alumina for making reusable grinding burrs, and steatite for making disposable grinding burrs.
Alumina is a very hard, dense material of exceptional strength. It exhibits resistance to corrosion. Alumina grinders support refilling. In contrast, a steatite grinder has a top that can't unscrew, so once the pepper is used up, people will throw it away.
1. The ceramic grinding burr provids ultra-long-life performance.
2. Corrosion Resistant: Ceramic> Stainless Steel> Carbon Steel.
3. The ceramic grinding burr won't taint the flavor of your herbs or spices.
4. If you want an attractive grinder at a reasonable price, choose a ceramic one. You replace them far less frequently than you do with steel ones, so there are fewer recurring costs in the long run.

It's widely used as the key part of the ceramic grinding mechanism in spice mills and herb mills.
Steatite is a silicate ceramic material based on soapstone. Typical steatite materials are mainly composed of SiO2 and MgO. Sintered at approx. 1300 °C, steatite exhibits the following critical properties:
high mechanical strength
age-resistant

Q1. Which kind of ingredients can we grind?
You can grind various ingredients - black pepper, sea salt, rice, rosemary seeds, white granulated sugar, etc.
Q2: How does the ceramic burr grinders work?
Once the ingredients reach the grinder, several rows of teeth crush the ingredients to release its natural oils. Then, they grind them into the desired consistency. Adjust the distance between the teeth using methods described on the instruction manual, and you can control the coarseness of the ingredients.
Q3: Burr grinders Vs. Blade grinders
Burr grinders provide more consistent and even particle sizes than blade grinders, resulting in better extraction overall.
