2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LMDG 200 is a laboratory machine, which is suitable for pulverizing and
homogenizing hard and brittle materials in the dry and wet state.
It is used for fast pulverizing.
The closed milling pulverizing system guarantees complete recovery of the samples.
Final finenesses of down to 75 μm can be achieved, depending on the milling time
and the specific properties of the sample material. The optimum filling of a LMDG
200 is around 1-1.3 Liters of sample material.
The sample quantity should not be less than 50 grams.
The static and the moving disc must always be made of identical
material.
3. TECHNICAL FEATURES
3.1. CONSTRUCTION
The housing of LMDG 200 is made of steel plate with powder coated RAL5005 paint.
Protective equipment
The milling chamber of the LMDG 200 is safely closed by an electrical safety switch.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1. UNPACKING
Before the installation, carefully examine the delivery for possible damage or missing
parts. Open the crate and take the machine out of the box. Check that the machine
has not been visibly damaged during the transport.
Please keep the packing material for the duration of the guarantee period. In case of
a complaint and return of the machine in unsuitable packing material, your guarantee
claim will be lost.
Check that the mains cord is compatible with the local standard.
If any kind of damage occurred during transport, immediately make a complaint to
the carrier. Any incorrect delivery or missing parts should be reported to the
distributor.
After opening and removing the wooden crate remove the 4 screws in each corner of
the metal base of the LMDG 200. Connect a belt at the hook of the motor and at the
hook of the housing to lift the machine from the pellet.

4.2. SELECTING THE RIGHT PLACE
When selecting the right place for the machine, please consider the following:
- Put the device on smooth, horizontal and stable place.
- Leave enough space beyond the device for normal air circulation, min. 200 mm at
the back of the machine.
- Leave enough space around the device, that you will easy control and maintain it.
- Don’t use the device in surroundings, where there are fast temperature and
humidity changes. Also avoid places exposed to direct sunlight and places nearby
heating devices.
- Avoid places, where the possibility of shocks and vibrations exists.
Note: The machine should not be placed so, that it is difficult to pull out the
cord plug from mains power supply.
4.3. CONNECTING THE POWER CORD
The correct voltage and frequency for the LMDG 200 are given on the name plate.
Ensure that these values correspond to the available power supply system.
Connect the machine with the plug supplied to a grounded wall socket.
To avoid interference from noise, surges and spikes, a dedicated line is preferred. If
no such line is available, avoid lines to which powerful electric motors, refrigerators
and similar devices are connected.
The power can be turned on and off by the emergency switch, located on the front
cover at the right side of the machine. Light in the switch indicates, when the power is
on.
