Perform this test each time the rotor or fixed knife is changed, and after a gap adjustment! 6.2 Comminution procedure with standard funnel CAUTION!
Using the device 6.2.1 Using the plunger The plunger has 2 different sides for feeding the sample material in the funnel to the grinding chamber. On the one hand, the smooth, round side is suitable for finer material. On the other hand, the cross-shaped, thinner side is suitable for long, fibrous material, like straw.
Using the device When the operating noise becomes quieter, the cutting procedure is complete. ð 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.
