RETSCH SM 50 – The World’s Most Powerful Benchtop Cutting Mill

Thursday, 15 May 2025

Newtown, PA – 2-20-2025 – RETSCH, a global leader in laboratory milling and sieving equipment, proudly introduces the SM 50 Cutting Mill, the most powerful benchtop cutting mill equipped with a standard single-phase power plug. Engineered for precision, efficiency, and contamination-free sample preparation, the SM 50 sets a new standard in laboratory milling.

Unparalleled Performance & Sample Recovery

The SM 50’s 1.5 kW motor delivers powerful and efficient size reduction for a wide range of materials, from soft and fibrous substances to tough and temperature-sensitive samples. Featuring an internal cyclone system, the SM 50 ensures nearly 100% sample recovery while improving airflow for fast and complete sample discharge.

Revolutionary Cleaning & Contamination-Free Processing

With RETSCH’s Total Access Concept, the SM 50 offers unmatched ease of cleaning and contamination prevention. The EasyInspect hopper folds out completely for full access, ensuring thorough cleaning without disassembly. Additionally, the PushFit grinding chamber, available in different materials, minimizes contamination risks and allows for easy switching between sample types.

For the first time in cutting mill technology, the entire grinding chamber is removable, allowing complete external cleaning. This feature, combined with the tool-free design of the rotor, sieves, and cyclone, maximizes efficiency and prevents cross-contamination between samples.

Versatile & Efficient for Any Laboratory Application

The SM 50 is designed to handle a variety of materials, including:

  • Soft & Dusty Samples: Achieves fine particle sizes (<200 µm) for herbs, dried vegetables, and animal feed.
  • Hard & Temperature-Sensitive Samples: Efficiently grinds plastics, wood, and food products while minimizing heat buildup.
  • Fibrous & Fluffy Materials: Processes textiles, hay, and voluminous samples with ease, ensuring uniform discharge.

Redefining Laboratory Milling

With a cutting speed of up to 4000 rpm, large 129 mm diameter rotor, and sieve sizes ranging from 0.25 to 10 mm, the SM 50 is the ultimate solution for precise, reproducible sample preparation. Whether for research, quality control, or industrial applications, the SM 50 Cutting Mill is setting new standards in laboratory milling efficiency.
