In a hammer mill designed for grinding spices, a maze grinder refers to a specific type of milling component that enhances the grinding process. This design includes a series of interlocking or overlapping plates or screens arranged in a maze-like configuration. The maze grinder helps to efficiently break down spices by ensuring that they pass through multiple stages of grinding, which can result in a finer and more uniform powder. The maze configuration helps to improve the retention time of the spices in the mill, leading to better extraction of flavours and a more consistent grind. This design is particularly useful for processing various spices, ensuring high-quality results in both small-scale and industrial operations
