SM 100
The Retsch SM 100 is the budget-friendly basic model among the cutting mills. With the strong 1.5 kW drive and 1,500 rpm rotor speed, it is particularly suitable for routine applications. Moreover, cleaning is made exceptionally easy. Combined with the broad choice of bottom sieves, hoppers and collecting vessels, the SM 100 mill can be easily adapted to varying application requirements. This cutting mill can be bench-mounted or alternatively placed a convenient base frame on wheels.
SM 200
The new Retsch cutting mill SM 200 is a powerful and easily operated instrument for efficient primary and fine size reduction. Cleaning is made particularly simple. It is the universal standard model among Retsch’s cutting mills, which covers a vast range of applications with its strong 2.2 kW drive and 1,500 rpm rotor speed. When operated with the optional cyclone-suction-combination, SM 200 is also suitable for grinding light sample materials or smaller quantities. Combined the wide choice of bottom sieves, hoppers and collecting vessels, the SM 200 mill can be easily adapted to varying application requirements.
SM 300
Owing to the powerful 3 kW drive with high torque and the RES technology, the Retsch Cutting Mill SM 300 excells in the tough jobs where other cutting mills fail. Its variable speed from 100 to 3,000 min-1 allows for seamless adaptation to application requirements. A range of bottom sieves with aperture sizes ranging from 0.25 – 20 mm is available, ensuring a defined fineness.
