Heavy-Duty Cutting Mill SM 2000
The Cutting Mill SM 2000 is a particularly powerful and user-friendly machine for the batchwise or continuous size reduction of tough, medium-hard, soft, elastic, fibrous and thermally sensitive materials or mixtures of materials. Running slowly or quickly with various rotors and hoppers it is used to comminute a wide range of substances.
Application Examples
animal feed, bones, cables, cardboard, electronic scrap, feed pellets, foils, food, leather, material mixtures, non-ferrous metals, paper, pharmaceutical materials, plant materials, plastics, refuse derived fuels, rubber, textiles, waste, wood, ...

Function Principle
Size reduction in the Cutting Mill SM 2000 takes place by cutting and shearing forces. The sample comes into contact with the rotor, which is suspended in bearings on both sides, and is comminuted between the blades and the stationary cutting bars inserted in the housing. In the 6-disk rotor, spirally arranged reversible hard metal plates operate by cutting in sequence. The knives of the parallel section rotor carry out comminution with a powerful cutting action. As additional flywheel mass on the drive shaft produces the exceptional performance which is typical for the SM 2000; this is otherwise only achieved by motors with double the power rating.
