Technical data
Target group: Operators
Machine type designation: BB 51
Use for the intended purpose
The BB 51 is suitable for crushing of medium to extremely hard sub-
stances and brittle and hard/tough materials. The achievable final out-
put fineness can be up to 0.5 mm and less, depending on the input ma-
terial.
The maximum input grain size is 35 mm.
The materials which can be crushed in the BB 51 include the follow-
ing:
Bakelite // bauxite // concrete // dolomite // ores // feldspar //
granite // graywacke // glass // limestone // gravel // coal // coke
// corundum // quartz // salts // refractory clay // slag // silicates
// silicon // sintered materials // cement clinker, etc.
This machine is not designed as a production machine but as a labora-
tory machine intended for 8 hour single shifts with 30% total opera-
tion time.
Should you require any further details, the Retsch applications labora-
tory will be pleased to assist.
Do not modify the machine in any way, and use only spare parts and
accessories approved by Retsch.
The conformity with European Directives declared by Retsch
will otherwise be invalidated.
Furthermore, this will lead to all warranty claims being ren-
dered null and void.
Description of function
Comminution in the BB 51 is effected by means of pressure.
The crusher chamber 1is funnel shaped and tapers down towards
the output end in accordance with the gap width which is infinitely
adjustable in steps of 0.1 mm.
The BB 51 has a gap width adjustment mechanism 5linked to a fixed
crusher arm 4and a moving crusher arm 3. Both crusher arms are
fitted with replaceable jaws 2between which comminution takes
place by means of pressure.
The eccentric motion ( eccentricity=2.4mm / 960min-1 at 50Hz and
1028min-1 at 60Hz ) of the moving crusher arm 3steadily moves the
input material until it is fine enough to pass through the set gap
width and fall into a withdrawable receptacle 6.
The convex form of the replaceable jaws 2, which may be made of
various different materials accelerates the process of comminution
while preventing compaction and formation of bridges.

Protective devices
The crusher chamber of the BB 51 is enclosed on all sides by a robust
steel plate casing.
The BB 51 can be safely started up even when the hopper lid is open
and the output receptacle withdrawn, as its design in compliance with
EN 294 precludes any inadvertent insertion of hands or objects.
A main switch fitted with a thermal overload relay on the back of the
machine protects against current overload.
Gap width adjustment

Operation of the BB 51
Target group: Operators
Switching ON and OFF
Fig.2
Fig.3
The main switch B. is located on the back of the BB 51 Fig.2
• Switch the main switch B on.
The red LED above the STOP button D lights up.
The BB 51 is now ready for operation.
Set gap width to 00.0
The gap width must only be adjusted when the machine is empty.
There must be no input material in the crusher chamber or feed
hopper.
Before starting the BB51 turn the handwheel Fthrough two revolu-
tions anti-clockwise so that the crusher jaws are out of contact with
one another.
• Press the START button C. Fig.3
The red LED above button D goes out, the green LED above but-
ton Clights up, the indicator display Ereads 00.0. The machine
starts up.
• Turn the handwheel Fclockwise until you hear the sound of the
crusher arms meeting.
• Press button G.
The indicator display Ereads 00.0.
Gap width and indicator now tally with one another.
• Turning the handwheel Fcloses the gap.
• Turning the handwheel Fopens the gap.
Before adjusting or starting the BB51 you must turn the handwheel
Fthrough two revolutions anti-clockwise.
The crusher jaws are then safely out of contact with one an-
other, thus preventing jamming and possible damage to the
jaws of the BB51.
Adjustment should be carried out regularly so as to ensure that the
indicator display and the actual gap width tally. The greater the load
on the BB 51 and the harder and more abrasive the input material,
the more often a zero point adjustment must be carried out in order
to compensate for wear.
The reading on the indicator display will otherwise not tally
with the actual gap width.
The BB 51 must only be adjusted when the machine is empty.
Jamming will result if there is any material in the crusher chamber or
feed hopper before starting.
This may result in damage to mechanical components.

The end of the crushing process is signalled by a change of noise and
the machine can be switched off.
Feeding in the input material
Fig.5
The feed hopper H and the crusher chamber can take input material up to
a grain size of 35 mm.
The feed hopper is not however intended for storage of process material:
its function is solely that of feeding material into the crusher chamber. It
also prevents inadvertent reaching into the crusher chamber, and stops
process material from being ejected.. Fig.5
• Check that the drawer and inserted receptacle are pushed in.
• Open the lid on the feed hopper H.
• Feed the material into the hopper.
• Close the lid on the hopper H.
Feed material into the hopper only when the machine is in operation.
Mechanical components may otherwise be damaged.
The maximum quantity of input material is limited by the capacity of the
withdrawable receptacle. The useful capacity of the receptacle will depend
on the properties of the input material. Remember to empty the receptacle
in good time.
Crushed material must not be allowed to back up in the crusher
chamber.Mechanical components may otherwise be damaged.
17.12.1998 ©Retsch GmbH 13 Doc. No. GB 98.056.9999

Interrupting the crushing process
The BB 51 must only be stopped when there is no more input material
in the hopper and crushing chamber.
Mechanical components might otherwise jam and be damaged
when the machine is restarted.
Fig.6
• Press the STOP button D. Fig.6
The red LED above button D lights up, the green LED above button C
goes out. The machine stops.

Emptying the drawer
Fig.7
• Stop the BB 51
• Pull out the drawer Kto the stop.
• Remove the inserted receptacle Land empty it.
The maximum capacity of the receptacle Lfor particular types of in-
put material must be determined empirically.
When emptying the withdrawable receptacle Lfirst ensure that the B
51 has run empty before stopping it, ie. that there is no more input
material in the crushing chamber or the feed hopper.
The crushed material will otherwise fall into the drawer recess
rather than into the receptacle.
Be sure to always empty the drawer in good time so that the top of the
heap of crushed material does not protrude into the crushing chamber.
Mechanical components might otherwise be damaged.

Notes on working procedures
Target group: Laboratory technicians
General
The BB 51 is a robust benchtop machine which can predominantly be
used for preliminary pulverisation of hard or brittle materials.
The performance data, throughput and achievable final fineness are
dependent on the breakage behaviour and hardness of the process ma-
terial, and on the gap width set.
This machine is not designed as a production machine but as a labora-
tory machine intended for 8 hour single shifts with 30% total opera-
tion time.
Do not modify the machine in any way, and use only spare parts and
accessories approved by Retsch.
The conformity with European Directives declared by Retsch
will otherwise be invalidated.
Furthermore, this will lead to all warranty claims being ren-
dered null and void.
Input grain size
The maximum input grain size is determined by the size of the intake
opening, and is max. 35 mm on the BB 51.
Quality of process material
In principle, any hard and brittle process material with a Mohs hard-
ness >3 can be crushed in the BB 51.
Moist or greasy process material with a Mohs hardness <3 tends
merely to compact or cake in the crusher chamber as a result of the
pressure applied by the crusher jaws.
Proper crushing is not possible in such cases.
17.12.1998 ©Retsch GmbH 15 Doc. No. GB 98.056.9999

Transport handles
Fig.8
A pair of handles fitting on to the top right and left hand sides of the BB
51 for convenient portability can be supplied as accessories (Order No.
32.825.0001).
• Insert and tighten the tommy screws Gtogether with the transport
handle TG in the threaded borings (cf. arrow in Fig.8).
The handles can be left on the BB 51. They increase the overall width of
space required for the machine on the bench by approx. 115 mm.
Cleaning
