Disc mill for industrial laboratory grinding
Streamline your sample preparation with a robust disc mill designed for precise grinding and reproducible results, ideal for reducing medium-hard, hard, or brittle materials to a fine powder in laboratories and pilot plants.
The Disc Mill DM 200 from Retsch is engineered to deliver consistent and precise grinding for laboratory and pilot plant operations. Leveraging a robust design, it operates efficiently under diverse conditions, making it ideal for applications in fields such as metallurgy, ceramics, and electronics. Its distinctive mechanism consists of two vertical, meshing grinding discs, where one rotating disc applies pressure and friction against a fixed counterpart. This method ensures thorough preliminary and fine crushing of medium-hard to hard materials, with adjustable gap widths between 0.05 to 5 mm for optimal control over particle fineness.
Capable of processing a broad range of materials—from bauxites and cement clinker to ores and metals—the DM 200 supports a variety of industrial and research applications. Its capacity is augmented by durable grinding discs available in materials like zirconium oxide and tungsten carbide for contamination-free processing. The integrated dust extraction connection minimizes airborne particulates, enhancing operational safety and cleanliness.
The DM 200 features a continuous adjustment capability that allows real-time monitoring and alteration of gap settings through an observation window, ensuring operational flexibility. Designed for integration into existing production lines, it operates with a 1.5 kW, 3-phase geared motor, supporting various voltages, and offers an IP 55 protection rating, confirming its suitability for demanding environments. With its straightforward maintenance, durable construction, and precision engineering, the Disc Mill DM 200 stands as a critical asset for achieving high-quality material processing.
