■ About "Millcer"

▲ Previous model "Fresh Millcer"

The "Millcer" possesses both milling (grinding) and mixing functions, enabling various preparations such as smoothies, powdered seasonings, soups, baby food, and liquid diets. Since its debut in 1988, it has been a long-selling kitchen appliance with a strong, enduring fan base across generations, particularly popular among health-conscious individuals. However, user feedback also highlighted challenges such as "glass containers are heavy and difficult to handle" and "limited kitchen counter space."

Therefore, we developed the "Slim Millcer Lite" with the aim of creating a "single appliance that can be left out on the counter" suitable for modern living environments and a wide range of users. While maintaining the high grinding power of the Millcer, we have optimized materials and design to make it lighter, smaller, and easier to clean.

■ Main Features of "Slim Millcer Lite"

1. New Material Container: Lighter and More Break-Resistant Than Glass

The container utilizes "Polycarbonate (PC) resin," a material known for its lightness and excellent durability. By leveraging the properties of this material, which has a lower specific gravity and is less prone to breakage compared to typical glass containers, we have achieved the lightest weight in the series. It is easy to handle for cooking and cleaning, and there is no worry of it shattering like glass if accidentally dropped.

*This container is not compatible with microwave heating.

2. "Leave-Out OK" Slim Design

The main unit features a slim profile with a width of 95mm and a depth of 116mm. Compared to the previous model (Fresh Millcer), the main unit's width has been reduced by approximately 38%, allowing it to fit comfortably even in limited kitchen spaces. Its compact size means it can be left out on the counter without needing to be stored away in a cupboard, seamlessly integrating into daily dietary habits.

3. High Grinding Power and Maintainability

▲ Dedicated "Groove" for Easy Gasket Removal

With a high-speed rotation of 20,000 RPM and four high-grinding-power cutters, it possesses the power to finely grind ingredients like dried sardines and tea leaves, as well as hard nuts into a fine powder. The cutter edges are processed with a "round edge cutter" design, where the blades are blunted and rounded for enhanced safety during cleaning. Furthermore, the inclusion of a dedicated "groove" for easy removal of the gasket improves maintainability.
