Safety
We exclude any liability for claims for damages in any form
whatsoever for injury to persons or damage to the machine
caused through non-observance of the following safety
instructions.
The TG200 is an ultra-modern, highly efficient product
from Retsch GmbH, and corresponds to state-of-the-art
technology. When using the machine according to the
intended purpose and with a knowledge of the technical
documentation described here it is completely reliable
and safe to operate.
Safety instructions
As the operating authority you must ensure that all
persons authorised to work on the TG 200:
are aware of, and have understood all the safety
regulations,
are aware of all the handling instructions and regulations
for the target group of relevance to them before starting
work,
have access to the technical documentation for this
machine at all times without problems.
Before beginning work on the TG200 new personnel must
have been made familiar with safe handling of the
machine and its operation according to the intended
purpose, either by verbal instruction from a competent
person and/or through reading this technical
documentation.
Improper operation can cause injury to persons and
damage to the machine. You are responsible for your
own safety and that of your employees.
Make sure that no unauthorised persons have access to
the TG200.
For your own protection have knowledge of the
instructions for operating the TG200 confirmed by your
employees. A draft of a suitable form is given on the
page following the section on safety.

Safety instructions, summary, part 1
We exclude any liability for claims for damages in any form whatsoever for injury to persons or damage to the
machine caused through non-observance of the following safety instructions.
Do not make any alterations to the machine and use only spare parts and accessories approved by Retsch.
Otherwise the Declaration of Conformity with European directives made by Retsch will lose its validity.
Furthermore this will also lead to the loss of any guarantee claims.
Do not dry explosives or easily flammable materials, or materials with a flashpoint below 180°C in the TG200.
Risk of fire and explosion.
Do not operate the TG200 in the vicinity of easily flammable materials.
Risk of fire and explosion.
You must check to what extent toxic danger exists through the charged material.
Risk to health through vapours or residual dusts which are not retained by the filters.
Do not operate the TG200 without supervision.
Risk of fire and explosion.
Materials should be dried only in the appropriate time, at the appropriate temperature. Take into consideration the
melting point and temperature sensitivity of the material.
The material to be dried can be destroyed through overheating.
Please keep the packing material for the duration of the guarantee period, since, in case of a complaint and return
of the machine in unsuitable packing material your guarantee claim will be at risk.
The TG200 must not be jolted, shaken or thrown during transport. Otherwise the electronic and mechanical
components may be damaged.
If subjected to high temperature variations (e.g. during transport by aircraft) the TG200 must be protected
against condensed water. Otherwise the electronic components may be damaged.
If the delivery is incomplete and/or transport damaged is found, you must inform the transporter and Retsch
GmbH immediately (within 24 hrs). Later complaints may possibly be no longer considered.
If the temperature drops below, or exceeds the ambient temperature the electrical and mechanical components
may be damaged; the performance data are then altered to an unknown extent.
At high atmospheric humidity the electrical and mechanical components may be damaged and the performance
data are altered to an unknown extent.
Maintain a safety distance of 100 mm all round.
The hot air outlet can ignite easily flammable objects.
Risk of fire and explosion.
If the values on the rating plate are not observed the electrical and mechanical components may be damaged.

Safety regulations, summary, part 2
Do not dry explosives, easily flammable materials or materials with a flashpoint below 180°C in the TG200.
Risk of fire and explosion.
Do not operate the TG200 in the vicinity of easily flammable materials.
Risk of fire and explosion.
You must check to what extent toxic danger exists through the charged material.
Risk to health through vapours or residual dusts which are not retained by the filters.
The bimetallic element switch is triggered when a temperature > 150°C/302°F has been reached. This can result
from too low fan power and at the same time too high stagnation pressure caused by the material to be dried.
Before restarting the machine the temperature should be reduced by 5 – 10°C.
Otherwise the heater may be damaged.
We recommend that protective gloves are worn when removing the vessels and the clamping lid at the end of the
drying process.
Risk of burns.
We recommend that protective gloves are worn when removing the vessels and clamping lid at the end of the drying
process.
Risk of burns.
When using the clamping lid with filter element the TG200 may be operated only up to a
temperature of max. +90°C/+194°F.
Otherwise the filter fabric will burn. Risk of fire.
Do not clean the TG200 under running water.
Danger to life through current surge.
If the filter element and filter bags are contaminated too much the efficiency of the TG200 will be reduced to an
unknown extent.
These operating instructions do not include any repair instructions. For your own safety repairs should be carried out
only by Retsch GmbH, an authorised agent or service technician.

Technical data
Do not make any alterations to the machine and use only spare
parts and accessories approved by Retsch.
Otherwise the Declaration of Conformity with European
directives made by Retsch will lose its validity.
Furthermore this will also lead to the loss of any
guarantee claims.
Do not dry explosives, easily flammable materials or materials
with a f lashspoint below 180°C in the TG200.
Risk of fire and explosion.
Do not operate the TG200 in the vicinity of easily flammable
materials.
Risk of fire and explosion
You must check to what extent toxic danger exists through the

Risk to health through vapours or residual dusts which
are not retained by the filters.
Do not operate the TG200 without supervision.
Risk of fire and explosion.
Materials should be dried only in the appropriate time, at the
appropriate temperature. Take into consideration the melting
point and temperature sensitivity of the material.
The material to be dried can be destroyed through
overheating.
Machine type designation: TG200
Use according to the intended purpose
Depending on the specific properties of the material to be dried,
materials with a moisture content of max. approx. 80% can be
dried. The size of the batch is normally 1000 ml. In some cases,
e.g. with lightweight, high volume materials, the complete vessel
volume can be utilized. The minimum grain size should not be
less than 63 µm.
The TG200 is not designed as a production machine or for
continuous operation but as a laboratory machine, intended for
one shift operation of 8 hours.

Emission
Noise measurement according to DIN 45635-031-01-KL3
The noise characteristic values depend on the set fan power
and the type of material to be dried.
Example:
Acoustic power level LWA = 88 dB(A)
Emission value related to working area L
pAeq
= 75 dB(A)
Operating conditions:
Material to be dried = clay, filling level 225 mm
Max. heating power, max. fan power
Noise characteristic values :
Heating power
The heating power depends on the type and quantity of material
to be dried and the set fan power.
The nominal value is 2 x 1000 W.
Basic heating takes place through the power output of the radial
fan, depending on the air flow.
Fan power
The fan power depends on the type and quantity of the material
to be dried and the accessories used.
The value is approx. 185 m³/hr at no-load operation without
material to be dried.
Rated power
At:
240V = 2990 VA
230V = 2865 VA
220V = 2740 VA
200V = 2490 VA
Systems of protection
IP43 or
IP20 without drying vessel and lid in position
Machine dimensions
Height: approx. 1000 mm, width: 400 mm, depth: 480 mm
Weight: approx. 21 kg without drying vessel
