Product Overview
The ceramic grinder mechanism is a complete grinding assembly designed for manual pepper mills, salt grinders, spice grinders, and seasoning dispensers. It integrates precision ceramic burrs with durable engineering plastic and stainless steel components, providing smooth operation, adjustable grinding, and long-term reliability.
The assembly is supplied as a ready-to-install mechanism, allowing customers to integrate it directly into their own grinder designs without developing individual components.
The standard Small Pentagon Ceramic Grinder Mechanism includes the following components:
| Component | Material |
|---|---|
| Drive Shaft | 6063 Aluminum |
| Inner Ceramic Burr | 95% Alumina Ceramic |
| Outer Ceramic Burr | 95% Alumina Ceramic |
| Retaining Clip | SUS304 |
| Adjustment Knob | Black POM Copolymer |
| Outer Sleeve | PP |
| Stirring Paddle (“Airplane”) | PP |
| Inner Burr Holder | POM |
| Compression Spring | SUS304 |
| Clip for Spring | SUS304 |
Commonly used lengths for drive shaft include 5, 7, and 10 inches; they can also be customized to customer specifications to suit various grinder designs.

A ceramic grinder mechanism is a complete grinding assembly consisting of ceramic burrs, shafts, springs, adjustment parts, and engineering plastic components. It is designed to be installed directly into pepper mills, salt grinders, and spice grinders, providing adjustable and consistent grinding performance.
Ceramic burrs offer excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for grinding salt and spices. Their chemically stable surface also helps preserve the original flavor of ingredients without introducing metallic taste during repeated use.
This standard mechanism is designed for common manual grinder structures. Depending on the customer’s product dimensions and assembly requirements, certain components such as shaft length, plastic holders, or adjustment parts can be modified to improve compatibility with specific grinder designs.
Yes. The mechanism incorporates a bottom adjustment knob that allows users to change the spacing between the ceramic burrs. This enables different grinding levels ranging from coarse particles to finer powders, depending on the application and the characteristics of the material being ground.
Yes. We support OEM manufacturing and customization services for ceramic grinder mechanisms. Engineering modifications such as burr dimensions, shaft length, plastic components, branding, and packaging can be developed according to customer drawings or technical specifications.
