Technical data

Target group: Operators
Machine type designation: BB 51

Use for the intended purpose

The BB 51 is suitable for crushing of medium to extremely hard sub­stances and brittle and hard/tough materials. The achievable final out­put fineness can be up to 0.5 mm and less, depending on the input ma­terial. The maximum input grain size is 35 mm. The materials which can be crushed in the BB 51 include the follow­ing: Bakelite // bauxite // concrete // dolomite // ores // feldspar // granite // graywacke // glass // limestone // gravel // coal // coke // corundum // quartz // salts // refractory clay // slag // silicates // silicon // sintered materials // cement clinker, etc. This machine is not designed as a production machine but as a labora­tory machine intended for 8 hour single shifts with 30% total opera­tion time. Should you require any further details, the Retsch applications labora­tory will be pleased to assist.
Do not modify the machine in any way, and use only spare parts and accessories approved by Retsch.
The conformity with European Directives declared by Retsch will otherwise be invalidated. Furthermore, this will lead to all warranty claims being ren­dered null and void.

Description of function

Comminution in the BB 51 is effected by means of pressure.
The crusher chamber 1 is funnel shaped and tapers down towards the output end in accordance with the gap width which is infinitely adjustable in steps of 0.1 mm.
The BB 51 has a gap width adjustment mechanism 5 linked to a fixed crusher arm 4 and a moving crusher arm 3. Both crusher arms are fitted with replaceable jaws 2 between which comminution takes place by means of pressure.
The eccentric motion ( eccentricity=2.4mm / 960min 1028min
-1
at 60Hz ) of the moving crusher arm 3 steadily moves the input material until it is fine enough to pass through the set gap width and fall into a withdrawable receptacle 6.
The convex form of the replaceable jaws 2, which may be made of various different materials accelerates the process of comminution while preventing compaction and formation of bridges.

Protective devices

The crusher chamber of the BB 51 is enclosed on all sides by a robust steel plate casing.
The BB 51 can be safely started up even when the hopper lid is open and the output receptacle withdrawn, as its design in compliance with EN 294 precludes any inadvertent insertion of hands or objects.
A main switch fitted with a thermal overload relay on the back of the machine protects against current overload.

Gap width adjustment

From 0 to approx. 10 mm by handwheel in 0.1 mm steps. Digital gap width indicator.

Throughput, output fineness

The performance data, throughput and achievable final output fineness are dependent on the breakage behaviour and hardness of the process material and on the gap width set. They can only be determined em­pirically.

Operation of the BB 51

Target group: Operators

Switching ON and OFF

The main switch B. is located on the back of the BB 51 Fig.2
Switch the main switch B on.
The red LED above the STOP button D lights up.
The BB 51 is now ready for operation.

Set gap width to 00.0

The gap width must only be adjusted when the machine is empty. There must be no input material in the crusher chamber or feed hopper. Before starting the BB51 turn the handwheel F through two revolu­tions anti-clockwise so that the crusher jaws are out of contact with one another.
Press the START button C. Fig.3
The red LED above button D goes out, the green LED above but­ton C lights up, the indicator display E reads 00.0. The machine starts up.
Turn the handwheel F clockwise until you hear the sound of the crusher arms meeting.
Press button G.
The indicator display E reads 00.0.
Gap width and indicator now tally with one another.
Turning the handwheel F closes the gap.
Turning the handwheel F opens the gap.
Before adjusting or starting the BB51 you must turn the handwheel
F through two revolutions anti-clockwise. The crusher jaws are then safely out of contact with one an­other, thus preventing jamming and possible damage to the jaws of the BB51.
Adjustment should be carried out regularly so as to ensure that the indicator display and the actual gap width tally. The greater the load on the BB 51 and the harder and more abrasive the input material, the more often a zero point adjustment must be carried out in order to compensate for wear.
The reading on the indicator display will otherwise not tally with the actual gap width.
The BB 51 must only be adjusted when the machine is empty. Jamming will result if there is any material in the crusher chamber or feed hopper before starting. This may result in damage to mechanical components.
Fig.4

Starting the crushing process

Carry out adjustment as described in the preceding section.
• Press the START button C. Fig.4
The green LED above button C lights up, the BB 51 starts up.
Set the desired gap width using the handwheel F.
Turn anti-clockwise to open the gap.
Turn clockwise to close the gap.
Display E indicates the gap width in mm.
The end of the crushing process is signalled by a change of noise and the machine can be switched off.

Feeding in the input material

The feed hopper H and the crusher chamber can take input material up to a grain size of 35 mm.
The feed hopper is not however intended for storage of process material: its function is solely that of feeding material into the crusher chamber. It also prevents inadvertent reaching into the crusher chamber, and stops process material from being ejected.. Fig.5
Check that the drawer and inserted receptacle are pushed in.
Fig.5
Open the lid on the feed hopper H.
Feed the material into the hopper.
Close the lid on the hopper H.
Feed material into the hopper only when the machine is in operation. Mechanical components may otherwise be damaged.
The maximum quantity of input material is limited by the capacity of the withdrawable receptacle. The useful capacity of the receptacle will depend on the properties of the input material. Remember to empty the receptacle in good time.
Crushed material must not be allowed to back up in the crusher chamber. Mechanical components may otherwise be damaged.
Fig.6

Interrupting the crushing process

The BB 51 must only be stopped when there is no more input material in the hopper and crushing chamber.
Mechanical components might otherwise jam and be damaged when the machine is restarted.
Press the STOP button D. Fig.6
The red LED above button D lights up, the green LED above button C goes out. The machine stops.
Press the STOP button D a second time.
The red LED stays lit, the display goes out and the machine is in standby mode. The last gap width setting is retained and the machine is still ready for operation.
The crushing process can be continued at any time, provided that the BB 51 has not been switched off at the main switch on the back of the machine and the red LED above button D is lit up.

Continuing the crushing process

Press the START button C. Fig.6
The red LED above button D stays lit, the display indicates the last gap width setting.
Press the START button C a second time.
Fig.7
The crushing process continues using the last gap width setting.

Emptying the drawer

Stop the BB 51
Pull out the drawer K to the stop.
Remove the inserted receptacle L and empty it.
The maximum capacity of the receptacle L for particular types of in­put material must be determined empirically.
When emptying the withdrawable receptacle L first ensure that the B 51 has run empty before stopping it, ie. that there is no more input material in the crushing chamber or the feed hopper.
The crushed material will otherwise fall into the drawer recess rather than into the receptacle.
Be sure to always empty the drawer in good time so that the top of the heap of crushed material does not protrude into the crushing chamber.
Mechanical components might otherwise be damaged.

Notes on working procedures

Target group: Laboratory technicians

General

The BB 51 is a robust benchtop machine which can predominantly be used for preliminary pulverisation of hard or brittle materials. The performance data, throughput and achievable final fineness are dependent on the breakage behaviour and hardness of the process ma­terial, and on the gap width set. This machine is not designed as a production machine but as a labora­tory machine intended for 8 hour single shifts with 30% total opera­tion time.
Do not modify the machine in any way, and use only spare parts and accessories approved by Retsch.
The conformity with European Directives declared by Retsch will otherwise be invalidated. Furthermore, this will lead to all warranty claims being ren­dered null and void.

Input grain size

The maximum input grain size is determined by the size of the intake opening, and is max. 35 mm on the BB 51.

Quality of process material

In principle, any hard and brittle process material with a Mohs hard­ness >3 can be crushed in the BB 51. Moist or greasy process material with a Mohs hardness <3 tends merely to compact or cake in the crusher chamber as a result of the pressure applied by the crusher jaws. Proper crushing is not possible in such cases.

Warranty conditions

1. In the case of justified complaints, we will repair or replace the defective parts at no charge.
The purchaser shall only be entitled to withdraw from the contract or reduce the purchase price when, at our decision, repair is impractical or impossi ble or replacements cannot be supplied or cannot be supplied in due time, or when a reasonable period of grace of at least six weeks set by the customer has expired without result due to circumstances within our control.
Should the attempt to repair or replace defective parts finally fail, the customer may at his op-
tion require a reduction of the purchase price or withdraw from the contract. Further claims, in particular such for damages not suffered by the object itself, such as loss of production, shall be excluded unless caused by intent or negligence on our part. We pass on the liability of the manufacturer(s) for bought-in products.
2. We shall bear the direct costs of repair or replacement on condition that the complaint has proven to be justified. This also applies to the costs of shipment and reasonable costs for dis­mantling and installation. The customer shall however be obliged to bear the costs of providing his own fitters and ancillary personnel at site. Should our customer operate abroad, we shall, al­ternatively, be entitled to bear the costs of rectification, and in particul ar transport, travel and material costs, ex-German border.
3. The warranty term for newly manufactured goods is two years, for used it is one year. The guarantee refers to deployment in a laboratory in 1-shift operation. In case of multi-shift
operation or other areas of application, the guarantee term is shortened accordingly. No warranty is given for parts subject to wear and tear.
4. We warrant that our goods are free of manufacturing defects. The suitability, classification and function of our goods shall be exclusively determined by the specifications in the acknowledge­ment of order, even if these deviate from the order. In such cases, the customer shall have the option of drawing our attention to any deviations from the order within two weeks of receipt of our acknowledgement, and reaching agreement with us. Should no objection be raised to the specifications in the acknowledgement of order, these shall be deemed accepted.
In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, we shall accept no liability for the suitability of
the object supplied for the purpose intended by the customer. The same shall apply to perform­ance data expected by the customer, unless we have been able to perform appropriate, realistic laboratory trials in advance and declared the corresponding performance data to be firm and binding in writing in our acknowledgement of order.
5. Our warranty shall also become null and void if persons other than those appointed by ourselves perform repairs or other work on or modifications to goods we have suppli ed or use unsuitable accessories, provided that their is a causal rel ationship between such actions and the defects which appear. For the rest, our warranty is dependent on compliance with our operating instruc­tions.
6. If the goods are installed in other systems or production facilities by the customer without our prior approval, or connected to, linked with or processed on such systems or production facili­ties, our warranty is exclusively limited to the parts we have supplied.
7. Repair or replacement of defective parts shall be effected at our option either at the poi nt of in­stallation of the object purchased, or at our corporate location. When repairs take place at the point of installation, the customer is to afford our representative unimpeded access for as long as required to the object purchased. The customer may for the rest only require the perform­ance of the warranty work during normal local business hours. Shoul d warranty work be per­formed at the customer’s request outside our normal business hours, the customer is to pay the additional costs. Should he require further special work over and above the warranty work, these costs are also to be borne on the basis of our current prices.
