New XL Cutting Mill Accepts Large Sample Pieces and Generates High Throughput

Retsch have added a new model to their cutting mill family: the SM 400 XL is perfectly suitable for primary size reduction of very large sample pieces measuring up to 17 cm x 22 cm, but can also achieve the required final fineness in one step, depending on the application. The large surface of the bottom sieve (240 mm x 240 mm) permits processing of large sample volumes, resulting in a higher throughput than is possible with smaller cutting mills.

The high torque of the innovative 3 kW drive with flywheel mass allows for exceptionally effective primary size reduction of soft to medium-hard, tough-elastic, and fibrous samples as well as heterogeneous material mixes. The SM 400 XL even processes temperature-sensitive samples without too much heat built-up.

When operated with the optional cyclone-suction-combination the mill is also suitable for grinding light materials or small quantities.
 

The Retsch cutting mill range includes three proven models for different requirements: SM 100 is the budget-priced basic model; SM 200 the universal standard model; SM 300 is the high-performance model with RES technology. The new XL model now extends the application range to processing large sample pieces.

The mill can be cleaned quickly and easily cleaning thanks to the fold-back hopper and smooth surfaces.
