Filter hose and collecting pan
Fig.10
Fig.11
With the use of a cloth filter hose or a Conidur filter, available as
an accessory, between the SR 200 and the collecting pan, the air
stream caused by the rotating rotor is taken off and conveyed
downward to the material discharge. Furthermore, it accelerates
the material throughput and ensures a gentle crushing process.
Fig.10
* Push filter hose E over the flange while holding the clamping
clip at an angle.
* Clamp the lock E1
* Hang in the collecting pan F
* Clamp the locks F1
If the collecting pan is mounted without a filter hose, it can be
expected that dust will escape from the feed funnel D, and so you
should never operate the SR 200 without a filter hose or Conidur
filter.
Feed material to be crushed
The maximum feed grain size should not exceed 15mm.
For batch or continuous operation, the SR 200 can be retrofitted
with a 30l plastic collecting receptacle and a feed device of the
type DR 100/75, which are available as accessories.
* Close the SR 200 and switch on
* Slowly feed the material to be crushed into the feed funnel D
Fig.11
The rebound safeguard installed in the feed funnel D prevents the
feed material from bouncing back. Fig.11
Only feed the material to be crushed into the feed funnel slowly and
continuously with the SR 200 running.
The material to be crushed or excessive feed quantity can bring the
SR 200 to a standstill and this may damage mechanical
components.
!
During crushing, material in dust form may escape from the feed funnel.
In the case of toxic or otherwise health-hazardous materials, use an
extraction device.
Danger from inhalation of health-hazardous dust.
!
Many materials form explosive air mixtures. Check the properties of the
material you are crushing.
Explosion hazard!

Assembly :
* Undo ring screw H, Fig.12
* Turn in bolts BO, Fig.13
* Push on fixture HA with tommy screw, Fig. 14
* Tighten tommy screw
* Mount DR 100/75 and align
* Fasten with the two hexagon-head screws SC
M6x20 DIN933, Fig. 14
* Insert power cable of the DR 100/75 in a socket with
earthing
* You will find the voltage and frequency of the DR100/75 on
the nameplate
If the values on the nameplate are not observed, electronic and
mechanical components may be damaged.
When feeding larger quantities, it is advisable in general to feed
the material to be crushed evenly using a feed device. This
largely prevents any unnecessary load on the grinding tools and
reduces possible friction heat. An appropriate means of ensuring
even material feed is use of the feed device of the type DR
100/75, which is available as an accessory. Fig.15
2/8/2012 Retsch GmbH 17 0002
Working Instructions
General sketch
Material is crushed in the SR 200 rotor beater mill by impact,
bouncing and shearing action.
After the material has been fed into the feed funnel, it passes
into the grinding chamber, where the crushing process takes
place between the rotor, the grinding insert and the sieve. see
also general sketch
As soon as the material has reached the relevant end fineness, it
passes the sieve and into the collecting pan.
The use of a cloth filter hose or a Conidur filter, available as an
accessory, which can be fixed between the SR 200 and the
collecting pan, prevents build-up of the air stream generated by
the rotating rotor and partly accelerates the material throughput.
This ensures a gentle crushing process.
Target group: Laboratory personnel
General
The SR 200 is highly modern, high-performance product from
Retsch GmbH.
In view of the wide range of accessories available, the SR 200
rotor beater mill is a unit with many varied uses in the chemical
and pharmaceutical sectors, mineralogy and biology etc. in
industrial and research laboratories.
The SR 200 is used mainly for precrushing and fine crushing of
dry, soft to medium-hard materials with a hardness of up to
approximately 4 according to Mohs.
End fineness
the achievable end fineness depends on the hole width of the
sieve and the crushing properties of the material. In favourable
cases it is possible to achieve finenesses of < 60 µm.
