It will furthermore lead to the loss of all warranty claims.
Machine type designation: PM100/PM200
Intended use
Retsch ball mills are used to grind and mix materials that are soft,
medium hard to extremely hard, brittle or fibrous. Dry and wet
grinding is possible, grinding with solvents is permissible, although
in this case it is essential to observe the supplementary instructions
given in the chapter "Wet grinding with easily inflammable
materials". Minerals, ores, alloys, chemicals, glass, ceramics,
vegetable matter, soil, slurry, domestic and industrial waste
and many other substances can be comminuted simply, quickly
and without loss. The ball mills are successfully deployed in
virtually all fields of industry and research, particularly where
there are high requirements on cleanliness, speed, fineness and
reproducibility.
Only type "C" grinding bowls may be used.
In the PM100 1x of 50-500ml, 2x50ml, 2x25ml and 2x12ml can be
stacked.
In the PM200 the 12ml and 25ml grinding bowls can be stacked but
the 50ml and 125ml are not stackable.
They are not designed as production machines, but rather as
laboratory devices intended for single-shift, 8-hour operation.

Requirements for the assembly site
When the ambient temperature exceeds or falls below that
specified, the electronic and mechanical components may be
damaged, and performance data changed to an unknown
extent.
At a higher air humidity, electronic and mechanical
components may be damaged, and performance data
changed to an unknown extent.
Failure to observe the values on the data plate can cause
damage to electronic and mechanical components.
Ambient temperature :
5°C to 40°C
Air humidity :
Maximum relative humidity 80% at temperatures up to 31°C,
declining in linear manner down to 50% relative humidity at 40°C
Assembly height :
Max. 2000 m above sea level
Electrical connection
The voltage and frequency for the PM100 or PM200 are
shown on the data plate.
Ensure that these values agree with the mains power
supply.
Connect the PM100 or PM200 to the mains power supply
with the power cable supplied.
When connecting the power cable to the mains supply, use
an external fuse which complies with the regulations
applicable to the assembly site.
Important notes :
1. Electrical connections must use PE conductors !
2. A frequency converter is fitted to the drive unit of your PM100 /
PM200. In order to fulfil the EMV directive, this is equipped with a
mains filter and screened cables to the motor. If your mains power
installation for the PM100 / PM200 contains a residual-current
protective device, then when the frequency converter switched on
(switched on each time the grinding chamber hood is closed), its
interference suppression circuit can cause spurious tripping of the
residual-current protective device, without this being due to a
defect in your PM100 / PM200 or mains power supply.
The state-of-the-art recommends selective, all-current sensitive
residual-current protective devices in such cases. The trip current
needs to be sufficiently dimensioned because short-lived, capacitive
transient currents generated at switch on (screened cables, mains
filter) can easily cause spurious tripping.
Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to operate the PM100
/ PM200 without a residual-current protective device. It must
nevertheless then first be ensured that this does not contradict the
regulations of the local electricity supply utility, or those of other
institutions or applicable standards.

Safety Instructions for starting the PM 100
The grinding bowl clamping fixture has proven its worth over many years as an easy-to-manage and
reliable appliance. A precondition here both for the operator’s safety and also to ensure that the
components have a long service life is that the grinding bowl must be clamped conscientiously.
Please bear in mind that the PM 100/200 is a grinder that inputs a very high level of energy into the
material being ground and the grinding bowl must therefore be clamped conscientiously.
To avoid operating errors, the correct grinding bowl clamping is queried each time before the
machine starts.
Personnel who are particularly well trained and very familiar with how the PM is operated may hide
this safety instruction permanently. However, we particularly advise against this if the operating
personnel vary!
The software for the PM 100/200 is set up in such a way that each time before the machine starts
up, when the starting button is activated, it is necessary to confirm in the following display that the
grinding bowl has been clamped.
Retsch GmbH 18
Make sure the grinding bowl is clamped before you start the
machine.
The grinding bowl can be hurled out, risk of injury and
damage to property!
Our recommendation is that you do not hide the safety instruction.
Yes
GRINDING BOWL CLAMPED?
NO
The grinding process starts after this confirmation.
This safety instruction can be hidden in the “settings” menu.

Balancing – only required for the PM100
K
S
In order to ensure that the machine runs smoothly, the
PM100 must be balanced after the grinding bowl has been
inserted and clamped in.
Weight the grinding bowl with cover, ball filling and
the material to be ground
Move the balancing weight using the knob until edge
K on scale S shows the determined weight.
Caution:
When using the following grinding bowls with safety locking
device an additional balance weight of 1 kg is necessary.
Combination 1:
- 250 ml grinding bowl of tungsten carbide
01.462.0222
- Safety locking device 22.867.0004
- Grinding bowl lid for gassing 22.107.0006
Combination 2:
- 500 ml grinding bowl of zirconium oxide 01.462.0227
- Safety locking device 22.867.0005
When the additional balance weight is used please note that
the scale no longer shows the correct weight.
(See below)
Order number for additional weight: 22.221.0002
Additional balance weight 1kg
Balancing – only for PM 100 with additional balance weight
In order to fix the additional weight both protective caps on the
top side of the counterweight must be removed.
Screw the additional weight onto the counterweight with the
two cheese-head screws. Tightening torque for the cheesehead screws = 20 Nm.
After mounting the additional weight the extra weight of 1.0 kg
must be taken into account when reading the scale.
Example:
If the grinding bowl weighs 8.2 kg the counterweight must be
set to a scale reading of 7.2 kg.
Note:
When using light (small) grinding bowls the additional weight
must be removed again.

GRINDING BOWL CLAMPED ?
NO
The grinding bowl clamping fixture has proven its worth over many years as an easy-to-manage and
reliable appliance. A precondition here both for the operator’s safety and also to ensure that the
components have a long service life is that the grinding bowl must be clamped conscientiously.
Please bear in mind that the PM 100/200 is a grinder that inputs a very high level of energy into the
material being ground and the grinding bowl must therefore be clamped conscientiously.
To avoid operating errors, the correct grinding bowl clamping is queried each time before the
machine starts.
Personnel who are particularly well trained and very familiar with how the PM is operated may hide
this safety instruction permanently. However, we particularly advise against this if the operating
personnel vary!
The software for the PM 100/200 is set up in such a way that each time before the machine starts
up, when the starting button is activated, it is necessary to confirm in the following display that the
grinding bowl has been clamped.
The grinding process starts after this confirmation.
This safety instruction can be hidden in the “settings” menu.

Carrying and holding
The gripping edges X on the grinding bowl itself and its
cover provide secure handling.
Torsion lock
All 250 and 500ml grinding bowls of type "C" also have a
torsion lock borehole to the steel shell in the bottom of the
grinding bowl. This is only deployed in the PM100 and is
located on the labelled side of the grinding bowl shell.
Heating the grinding bowls
Depending on the grinding time and the filling level, the
grinding bowl can be heated up to 150°C during
comminution.
When the fixture is undone, the pressure which builds up in
the bowl during grinding escapes, and can also take
powered ground material with it.
When the grinding bowls are put to one side to cool, a
vacuum develops inside the bowl, which can make it difficult
to open. Grinding bowls of type "C" can therefore be levered
open by inserting a wooden bar H, for example, between
the gripping edges of the cover and the bowl.
Please take the action necessary - depending on how
dangerous the material you are grinding is - to ensure that
people are not exposed to danger.
It is essential to wear protective gloves when removing and
opening heated grinding bowls.
Danger of burning hands.

Grinding bowl identification
All grinding bowls of type "C" are easily identified by a
marking area SCH1, including the article No. and material.
Customer marking of grinding bowls
In addition to the aforesaid marking area, you can affix one
of the labels supplied (or available as accessories) to an
area SCH2 on the grinding bowl; this makes it possible to
apply extra markings, such as grinding bowl capacity etc.
The label is heat-resistant up to 150°C and the markings
you apply can be removed using alcohol, benzene or
acetone, for example.
Cleaning the grinding bowls
To clean the grinding bowls, the O-ring can be easily levered
out of groove Z on the underside of the cover.
Grinding bowls, including those with adhered ceramic
inserts, can be cleaned with alcohol, benzene or with normal
household washing-up liquid.
Do not expose grinding bowls with ceramic inserts to
temperature fluctuations during rinsing.
The ceramic inserts can crack if subject to sudden
changes of temperature.
Drying the grinding bowls
Grinding bowls can be dried at any time after cleaning in the
drying cabinet at the temperature indicated below.

Tips for ultra-fine milling
In many cases high finenesses can be achieved only by wet
milling.
In dry milling processes an improved fineness of milling can be
achieved by the addition of a few drops of stearic or acetic acid,
and use of milling balls with a diameter < 10 mm and a filling
level of 70-80% of the milling cup volume.
Retsch GmbH 25
Use of the closing device for milling cups
For wet milling in milling cups with material inserts do
not use old closing devices which clamp only the
gripping edges of the milling cups. The material inserts
can be pressed out by possible internal pressure.
After filling the milling cups these must be closed with
closing devices available as accessories.
For milling cups with material inserts, ceramics or
tungsten carbide use only closing devices which support
the material insert of the milling cup lid. This is
absolutely essential owing to the anticipated internal
pressure.
Use of agate milling cups for wet milling with solvents
should be particularly carefully considered owing to the
internal pressures produced and the non-homogeneous
material properties of this natural product.
Tighten the clamping screws of the closing device with
a torque of 2.5 Nm. Internal pressures of up to max. 5
bar are permissible only with this preliminary tension.
NOTE
Damage to the grinding chamber cover and to the
device
The three screws on the safety clamp on the aeration
cover can become loose and damage the inside of the
device.
After tightening the clamping mechanism, check if the
three screws on the safety clamp are still tight.
Please note that the milling cups can easily be heated
to above 100°C, depending on the milling cup size, ball
filling, speed and milling time.
The PM400 is fitted with a ventilator which sucks the
waste heat produced during milling directly out of the
milling chamber.The suction volume per hour is greater
than 20 times the milling chamber volume. The
ventilator has a standstill monitor with signalling.
If necessary the air stream of the ventilator should be
carried off into a duct during milling.
Check firm fitting of the closing device before removing
the milling cups.
Remove the milling cups only with closing device and
open only in a safe position (extraction unit) after
cooling.

ENERGY
This allows you to pre-select whether the grinding chamber cover should be raised automatically after grinding
has ended or may only be opened after pressing the button. If the function is switched off the
pictogram appears on the display for confirmation.
This function enables the total energy input into the grinding bowl (comminution energy + loss energy) to be
determined.
This total energy input into the grinding bowl is defined as the difference between the energy drawn from the
machine's drive unit when the grinding bowl is empty and when it is filled with material to be ground and
grinding balls.
Thus it is first necessary to determine the idling energy drawn by the machine when the grinding bowl is empty.
The idling energy level is established over a relatively short period and is taken as the zero point by the
electronics, in a similar way to taring scales.
During subsequent grinding with material, the only energy input taken into account is that which exceeds the
level of idling energy. This difference can be regarded as equal to the energy input into the grinding bowl(s) by
the grinding media and the material being ground.
For the purpose of comparing different combinations of parameters, the energy input can be specified instead
of the grinding time (only the volume of the material being ground and the feed grains need to be the same to
allow a proper comparison to be made). In this case, the grinding process is not ended after a specified time,
but rather after the input of the pre-set energy.
The energy menu is divided into three sub-menus:
DETERMINE IDLING ENERGY
MEASURE

In order to determine the energy input into the grinding bowl during the grinding process, please proceed as
follows:
Specify all the parameters - speed, grinding time, interval - required for the intended grinding process.
Determine the weight of the grinding bowl intended for the subsequent grinding process but still
without the material to be ground and the grinding media.
Set the balancing weight accordingly.
Then change to the sub-menu:

Please note that the balancing of the PM 100 must be corrected accordingly.
After pressing the start button again, you are requested to choose between "MEASURE“ and "SET" the

The following service work should be performed from time to
time, although at the latest once per month, in order to
guarantee the operational reliability of your PM100/200:
Check roller 1 of the locking trannion for easy running
and oil, if necessary, e.g. with sewing machine oil
Clean magnets 2 on the locking trannion
Check threaded spindle 3 and locking sleeve 4 for easy
running. A drop of oil helps in most cases.
The easy running of the threaded spindle and the locking
sleeve is essential for secure clamping of the grinding bowl
Locking sleeves which do not move downwards solely by spring
power cannot properly prevent the threaded spindle from
working loose. The grinding bowls could be hurled out.
The easy running of roller 1 on the locking trannion is essential
for secure closing of the housing cover of the PM100/200.
The thickness D1 of the three spider feet should be
checked for wear from time to time, although at the
latest every month.
It may not be less than 7.5 mm for the PM100.
It may not be less than 5.5 mm for the PM200.
The heights H1 of the latching brackets should be
checked for wear from time to time, although at the
latest every month.
They may not be less than 17mm.
Check rubber washer 5 in the pressure piece for wear
and ensure that it is securely in place (sticking). At
temperatures up to 120°C use temperature-resistant
rapidly-acting adhesive DELO 2256.
If the values D1 and H1 are undershot, operational safety is no
longer assured.
The grinding bowls could be hurled out.
