Target group: All persons dealing with the machine in any way The BB 51 is a modern, powerful product from Retsch GmbH. It re- flects the state of the art. When the machine is handled correctly by persons familiar with this technical documentation, it is completely safe and reliable in operation.
Damage to property Repairs These operating instructions do not contain any instructions on re- pairs. For your own safety, only have repairs performed by Retsch GmbH or an authorised agent (service technicians). In such a case, please inform: The Retsch agency in your country...
0.1 mm. The BB 51 has a gap width adjustment mechanism 5 linked to a fixed crusher arm 4 and a moving crusher arm 3. Both crusher arms are fitted with replaceable jaws 2 between which comminution takes place by means of pressure.
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 The BB 51 can be safely started up even when the hopper lid is open and the output receptacle withdrawn, as its design in compliance with EN 294 precludes any inadvertent insertion of hands or objects.
When there are severe temperature fluctuations (e.g. during air transport) the BB 51 is to be protected from condensation. The electrical components may otherwise be damaged. Interim storage Also ensure that the BB 51 is stored in a dry location for interim peri- ods. Supply schedule •...

STOP button Stops BB51. Red LED lights up when the machine is switched on. Puts the BB 51 in standby mode when pressed a second time. Gap width indicator Indicates the gap width set in mm. Turn clockwise to close the gap. Turn anti-clockwise to open Handwheel for setting gap the gap.
Operation of the BB 51 Target group: Operators Switching ON and OFF 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.
• Carry out adjustment as described in the preceding section. • Press the START button C. Fig.4 The green LED above button C lights up, the BB 51 starts up. • Set the desired gap width using the handwheel F.
The crushing process can be continued at any time, provided that the BB 51 has not been switched off at the main switch on the back of the machine and the red LED above button D is lit up.
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.
• Insert and tighten the tommy screws G together 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.

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.
