An operating noise becomes audible.
The quantity of comminution material is based on the particle feed
size and the grindability of the comminution material. It is best to
start with small quantities and increase them depending on the
success of the comminution.
7.
If necessary, press the comminution material into the cutting

chamber with the plunger (26).
8.
When the operating noise becomes quieter, the comminution procedure is complete.
More comminution material can be added in.

Using the device
10.
Leave the sample pusher (24) down and move the plunger (23)
downwards.
The operating noise becomes louder.
11.
Make pumping movements with the plunger (23). These pumping

movements draw in and press out air through the blower filter
above the collecting vessel. This air feeds the comminution material through the sieve or lifts it off the sieve and feeds it to the
process again.
12.
When the operating noise becomes quieter, the cutting procedure

is complete.
More comminution material can be added in.
6.4 Overload of the cutting mill

When filling and making downward movements with the plunger (23)
the working noise must be observed. The sound level is nearly identical
to the load on the machine. You can clearly hear from the pitch when the
mill reduces speed due to overload.
Pulling the plunger (23) out on time reduces the load on the mill and protects the rotor (3), the fixed knives (4, 5, 9) and the sieve cassette (7).
NOTICE!
If the cutting mill is overloaded, the motor protection
switch switches the device off.
The red Stop button lights up to indicate overload.

firmly connected and switch on the exhaust system.
5.
Switch on the cutting mill (see Chapter 5.2 Switching on

on page 26).
6.
Add a little comminution material by hand and observe the operating noises. If the motor speed decreases audibly, reduce the
supply of comminution material. A fast vortex of comminution
material must form in the collection bottle.
- 40 -
Using the device
The quantity of comminution material is based on the particle feed size

and the grindability of the material. It is best to start with small quantities and increase them depending on the success of the comminution.
NOTICE!
When the sample bottle (32) is 2/3 full, stop the comminution. To do this, switch off the cutting mill (see
Chapter 5.4 Switching off on page 26) and the sample
exhaust system. Then empty the sample bottle (32).
If comminution has not stopped when the bottle is 2/3 full, the effectiveness of the classifier is impaired and material will gradually clog the filter
of the sample exhaust system.
If the vortex of comminution material in the collection bottle slows
down, this means that the air throughput or air flow rate has decreased:
n grinding chamber is too full
n the sieve has to be cleaned and / or
n the filter of the exhaust system has to be cleaned.
NOTICE!
The fine material (fine dust) of the sample collects in the
filter of the sample exhaust system. Clean the filter from
time to time by vacuuming or blowing out.
The sample exhaust system is recommended especially in combination
with the standard funnel (1) for bulk and long solids.
