New product from Retsch! The new SM 50 cutting mill
Cutting Mill SM 50
- Many laboratories face these challenges:
- Time losses due to complex cleaning and reassembly
- Sample losses caused by hidden residues in hard-to-reach areas
- Limited flexibility when processing various materials
- Risk of contamination that can distort analysis results
RETSCH tackles challenges:
The new SM 50 revolutionizes laboratory workflows and solves multiple problems at the same time. With its innovative design featuring a removable milling chamber, the SM 50 simplifies cleaning, saving up to 30 % process time. At the same time, the unrivaled powerful benchtop cutting mill with a single phase power plug allows up to 100 % sample recovery* and contamination-free sample preparation.
A single solution for everything
- The SM 50 is the world's most powerful benchtop cutting mill with a standard one phase power plug. Its 1.5 kW motor drives a large rotor, delivering impressive high-speed cutting power. The max. speed is 4,000 rpm and can be adjusted to suit various applications.
- The EasyInspect hopper operates on a batch-wise feeding system and can process large sample pieces up to 50 mm with ease. The compact powerhouse features an internal cyclone system, ensuring effortless and efficient processing of various materials.
- Sieves with apertures from 0.25 mm to 10 mm allow a final fineness of less than 250 µm, depending on the feed material. A two-step grinding process allows fine particles to be produced by first using a large aperture sieve, followed by a finer one. The design supports high throughput with large sieve areas of 48 mm x 120 mm.
Up to 100 % sample recovery*
Stop losing material
- Compared to milling without cyclone technology, the recovery of sample material is significantly improved. The cyclone technology efficiently transports the sample into the receptacle with no dust release and minimal sample residue left in the mill.
- The integrated cyclone eliminates the need for connecting elements such as pipes or hoses and minimizes distances and surface areas.
- The batchwise feeding of the hopper concept serves as a flow control gate and optimizes the grinding performance and separation efficiency of the cyclone
Stop manual pre-cutting
The compact EasyInspect hopper allows processing of large sample pieces without pre-cutting.
The exceptionally large grinding chamber allows large samples to be fed, as does the hopper design for batch feeding of samples up to 50 mm. The power and technical design of the SM 50 makes it easy to process a wide range of materials, including:
- Dense monoliths: Dog biscuits, roots, wood pieces
- Tough polymers: Plastic components, rubber compounds, children toys, household items
- Hard & brittle components: electronic parts, LN2 embrittled samples
