Discover the SM 50: The Performance World Champion in Benchtop Cutting Mills

Introducing the SM 50 from Retsch - a cutting mill that revolutionizes the benchtop market with unmatched performance and efficiency. Designed to streamline laboratory processes, the SM 50 combines innovative engineering with the world’s first Total Access Concept, providing user-friendly features, making it a must-have for any lab.

Compact Design, Unparalleled Efficiency

The SM 50 embodies a compact design that minimizes sample pathways within the mill, reducing sample residue and optimizing airflow thanks to its integrated cyclone system, that combination enables virtually residue-free sample recovery, crucial for precise laboratory results. Despite its small size, the SM 50 offers robust cutting performance powered by a 1.5 kW drive and a rotational speed of up to 4,000 rpm, all with a standard single-phase power plug. This powerhouse is perfect for labs where space is at a premium without compromising on performance.

Total Access Concept: Redefining Ease

The Total Access Concept sets new benchmarks for efficiency. The EasyInspect hopper provides unprecedented access to all components involved in the grinding process. It accommodates monolithic, granular, and fibrous samples up to 50 x 50 mm, allowing for versatile sample handling. With a convenient door flap, the entire inner workings of the mill are exposed, facilitating easy inspection and maintenance.

Effortless Handling and Cleaning

The SM 50’s modular push-fit milling chamber is a world-first innovation that enables EasyClean. The rotor, sieve and even the milling chamber can be effortlessly removed and cleaned even under water. This not only reduces changeover times but ensures hygienic cleanliness, minimizing the risk of sample contamination. The modular design supports quick retooling processes, enhancing versatility across different applications. All components can be cleaned with ease, ensuring minimal maintenance and maximized productivity.

Versatile Accessories for Diverse Applications

The SM 50 is equipped to handle various materials across industries such as agriculture, recycling, food and feed, and pharmaceuticals. With sieve sizes ranging from 0.25 to 10 mm and collector systems supporting capacities from 0.25 to 3 liters, you can customize your setup for specific needs. The integrated cyclone ensures efficient sample recovery, even when you are processing greasy or sticky substances. Whether dealing with dusty samples like herbs and bark or soft materials like textiles and hay, the SM 50 delivers reliable and representative sample preparation.

Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness

Thanks to the easy replacement of key wear parts, the SM 50 promises an extended service life that reduces costs and supports sustainability. More grinding processes with less maintenance mean your laboratory can operate more efficiently and economically.

Experience the Difference

The SM 50 from Retsch is not just a cutting mill; it's a comprehensive solution for sample preparation that combines performance, precision, and ease of use. Its globally unique Total Access Concept and Push-fit system for all important components make it a leading instrument on the market, tackling the challenges of milling with exceptional speed and thorough cleaning.
