NOTE: In practice, the sample capacity of any particular grinding container depends on the
properties of the sample, particle-size requirements, and other considerations.
Electrical: available in 115 60Hz (10-amp fuse) or 230V 50Hz (5-amp fuse).
Cord: 115V 60Hz version, 3-prong grounded cord supplied.
230V 50Hz version, with European CEE 7/7 two-prong plug supplied.
NOTE: Operator is responsible for supplying alternate line cord/plug if required.
Fuses: 115V 60Hz version, 10-amp slow-blow fuse in inlet module,
230V 50Hz version, 5-amp slow-blow fuse in inlet module
Important: these fuses are "slow-blow" fuses, meant to withstand a temporary voltage
peak in excess of the fuse's current rating. (Electric motors of the type used in the
Shatterbox draw more amperage than normal while getting up to speed.) When
replacing a fuse, remember to unplug the Shatterbox first, and always use a "slow-blow"
type fuse.
Motor: a 1/3 horsepower dual-winding 825-RPM motor powers the 8530 Shatterbox.
The low horsepower rating of the motor is based on its low fixed speed, but the motor
has high torque (especially when starting up) and is more powerful than its HP power
rating implies.
Safety Features: Lid Interlock prevents mill from running if lid is not closed and keeps lid locked
down for 5 seconds after motor shuts off to allow mechanism to come to a stop.
Recommended operating conditions: indoors, in ambient air, temperature between 40
o
and
90
o
F. (4
o
– 35
o
C), humidity between 0% and 95%.
