Cutting mills are used for the grinding of soft, medium-hard, tough, elastic, fibrous, and heterogeneous mixes of products. The Cutting Mill SM 400 is suitable for primary cutting of large sample pieces measuring up to 170 x 220 mm but can also achieve the required final fineness in one step, depending on the application. 

• Powerful size reduction thanks to 3 kW drive
• Suitable for heat-sensitive materials
• Quick and easy cleaning due to fold-back hopper and smooth surfaces
• Defined final fineness due to bottom sieves with aperture sizes from 1 to 20 mm

The large open surface of the 240 mm x 240 mm bottom sieve and the wide opening of the hopper are further features allowing for high throughput. The collection receptacle covers 5 l. If the optionally available continuous gravity outlet is used, also large sample quantities can be processed in short times. The use of slotted hole sieves can also lead to increased throughput. Typically, the throughput is doubled compared to using round hole sieves with the same aperture size; sample residues are reduced to neglectable amounts. The final fineness of the samples tends to be slightly higher than with round hole sieves of the same aperture size.
