Retsch Cutting Mill SM 100
Cutting mills are the first choice for the size reduction of soft, medium-hard, tough, elastic, fibrous, and heterogeneous mixes of products.
The SM 100 is the budget-priced basic model among the RETSCH cutting mills. It is suitable for the size reduction of samples which don’t require extremely high forces. The mill has been specially designed for routine applications. It is easy to operate and can be mounted on a solid table or on the optional base frame.
FOR ROUTINE APPLICATIONS
- Feed size < 60 x 80 mm
- Defined final fineness due to bottom sieves with aperture sizes from 0.25 - 20 mm
- Quick and easy cleaning due to smooth surfaces and push-fit rotor
- Gravity outlet for collection vessels of different sizes
- Wide range of accessories including various hoppers, collection systems, rotors and sieves
- Highest safety standards
ACCESSORIES FOR SAFE AND EFFECTIVE GRINDING PROCESSES
The SM 100 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 100 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.
