Cutting mills are suitable for the grinding of soft, medium-hard, tough, elastic, fibrous, and heterogeneous mixes of products. Within the group of RETSCH cutting mills, the SM 200 is the universal standard model which covers a vast range of applications.

It is equipped with a strong 2.2 kW motor and operates at a rotor speed of 1.500 rpm. In combination with the optional cyclone-suction-combination, the SM 200 is also suitable for, grinding light or heat sensitive sample materials. A heavy-metal-free version is available to avoid cross-contamination.

SUPERIORITY IN DETAIL

Ideal for light & heat-sensitive materials

Instead of the gravity outlet, an optionally available cyclone separator can be connected to the SM 200. The use of the cyclone-suction-combination is advantageous, for example, for light and heat-sensitive samples.

• Increased throughput
• Improved sample discharge from the grinding chamber
• Efficient cooling of sample and cutting tools
• Collecting vessels with 0.25 – 0.5 – 1 – 2 – 5 and 30 liters are available for the cyclone unit

EASY OPERATION & CLEANING

Operation of the SM 200 is exceptionally simple and safe. A safety switch prevents the mill from being switched on with the door open. An electronic safety check ensures that the door cannot be opened when the motor is running – the motor brake makes the rotor come to an immediate standstill after the mill has been switched off.

The hopper can be folded back to get full access to the grinding chamber which, in combination with the smooth surfaces, greatly facilitates cleaning the mill. The push-fit rotor can be removed without tools.

ACCESSORIES FOR SAFE AND EFFECTIVE GRINDING PROCESSES

The SM 200 can be equipped with different rotors, hoppers and bottom sieves. The mill and accessories, including cutting bars and cutting plates, are also available in versions for heavy-metal-free size reduction.

ROTOR TYPES

A parallel section rotor and a 6-disc rotor are available in stainless and heavy-metal-free steel for optimum adaptation to sample properties.

HOPPER TYPES

The SM 200 can be equipped either with the universal hopper, which is suitable for most samples, or the long-stock hopper which is specially designed for long samples.

BOTTOM SIEVES

The bottom sieves with trapezoid or square holes are made of stainless steel or heavy-metal-free steel.
