broyeur horizontal à doigts

English translation: horizontal pin mill

14:31 Oct 24, 2014
French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / milling, grinding
French term or phrase: broyeur horizontal à doigts
The complete phrase is "broyeur horizontal à doigts, rempli de billes de ZrO2".
I came up with horizontal mill filled with ZrO2 beads, but for "a doigts" all I can come up with is "fingers" and that doesn't seem to generate any hits. I assume that the "fingers" are what does the grinding, in combination with the beads. Can anyone tell me the exact English name for this piece of equipment?

Explanation:
I am just answering your question about "doigts", as a mere suggestion taken from this multi-lingual site

EN
http://www.netzsch-grinding.com/en/products-solutions/wet-gr...

FR
http://www.netzsch-grinding.com/fr/produits-solutions/broyag...

As the company seems to be German, at worse both (En & Fr) are translations :)!

Difficult to find in French too!

agree  Daniel Declercq: Agreed, the "doigt" part refers to pins, much like in gears. You can look up "roue à doigt" on google image to get an idea.
