What is a drug mill?
Roughly speaking, a drug mill is a plant for grinding plant-based raw materials that are used for the production of phytopharmaceuticals, teas or cosmetic products, for example.
The Drug Mill used by Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik enables customers to grind leaf drugs, herbs and plant roots cost-effectively externally. This saves customers from having to invest in their own mills, which are only utilized seasonally – at the same time, they remain flexible with the production of teas, remedies or natural cosmetics.

High-quality micronization at Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik
Micronization refers to the grinding – the pulverization or granulation – of various substances, for example for the production of medical products, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals. In the course of micronization, the specific properties of a substance are changed by increasing the surface area in order to achieve the desired properties for the end product, for example:
- Better dispersion
- Change in viscosity
- Higher bioavailability
- Texture and sensory enhancement
- Optimal solution behavior
