High-torque cutting mill for tough and fibrous materials
Tackle the toughest materials and ensure consistent particle size control with this cutting-edge mill, designed to effortlessly process diverse materials from soft plastics to fibrous residues, ensuring seamless integration into your production line for optimal efficiency.
The Cutting Mill SM 300 from Retsch GmbH is an advanced solution for challenging material processing tasks across multiple industries, such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and recycling. Equipped with a robust 3 kW motor featuring high torque and RES technology, this mill excels in reducing a wide range of materials—including soft, medium-hard, and tough compositions—into precise particle sizes. The SM 300 operates on a variable speed range of 100 to 3,000 min-1, accommodating diverse application requirements. Its double acting cutting bars and interchangeable rotor types enhance cutting efficiency, while the optional cyclone separator aids in processing heat-sensitive materials. Available in stainless steel versions including 316L for food and pharmaceutical applications, the mill supports high material recovery and easy maintenance. Safety features such as an electronic check prevent operation with an open door, and the design facilitates ease of cleaning between batches, making the SM 300 an integral part of seamless and efficient production lines.
