Cutting mill SM 200
The new cutting mill SM 200 is a powerful and easy-to-operate instrument for efficient primary and fine size reduction.
Food ANALYSIS
The product is effective in grinding food samples. It achieved high quality and is easy to use. However, after a few years of service, it has issues when it starts and goes through self-check cycle. It fails to start from time to time, and has to be restarted repeatedly.

Cutting mills are suitable for the grinding of soft, medium-hard, elastic, fibrous, and heterogeneous mixes of products. The new cutting mill SM 200 is a powerful and easy-to-operate instrument for efficient primary and fine size reduction. Cleaning is made particularly easy. Within the group of the RETSCH cutting mills, it is the universal standard model which covers a vast range of applications with its strong 2.2 kW drive and 1,500 rpm rotor speed. Instead of the gravity outlet, an optionally available cyclone separator can be connected to the SM 200. The use of the cyclone is advantageous, for example, for light and heat-sensitive samples. In combination with the wide choice of bottom sieves, hoppers and collecting vessels, the mill can be easily adapted to varying application requirements.
