New Jaw Crusher for Smaller Sample Volumes

Retsch has further perfected the compact bench top model of the jaw crusher series. The new BB 50 offers many features which ensure efficient and convenient usage. The speed can be set between 550 and 950 min-1 to allow for perfect adaptation to sample requirements. Another advantage is the so-called zero-point adjustment which helps to compensate for wear of the breaking jaws. Operating the BB 50 is simple and safe. The large hopper facilitates material feed, the capacity of the collecting receptacle has been doubled. The fold-back hopper can be easily removed without using tools, just like the crusher arm. The breaking jaws can be replaced by the user as well.

The space-saving unit fits on any laboratory bench and crushes smaller sample volumes with a feed size of up to 40mm to a final fineness of approximately 0.5mm, depending on material properties. There is no other instrument in the market to achieve this in a single operation. Breaking jaws and wearing plates are available in 5 different materials which ensures neutral-to-analysis sample processing.

On the basis of more than 90 years of experience RETSCH develops innovative size reduction and sieving equipment which is characterised by excellent performance, operating convenience, safety and a long lifetime.
