The "Comminuter" made by the Chicago Pump Company consists of a vertical revolving slotted drum screen, motor driven. The screen is almost completely submerged in the flowing sewage. The sewage passes into the drum through slots and is discharged through an opening at the bottom. (...) any material too large to pass through is cut by stellite cutters on the drum in pieces small enough to pass through the slots. 1, record 1, English, - Comminuter

To eliminate the problems associated with the collection, removal, storage and handling of the screenings, devices are installed for the continuous intercepting, shredding and grinding into small pieces of the large floating material in the waste flow. These cutting and shredding devices are called comminutors. 1, record 2, English, - comminutor
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "comminutor" is strictly speaking used to designate only a specific type of shredding device. In a larger sense it is used to designate all types of shredders. A few authors have assigned a third, even larger, sense to the term. They use "comminutor" to mean any type of grinding as well as shredding device. It is this third meaning which is the object of this record. In French, "dilacérateur" refers to cutting and shredding devices only. 3, record 2, English, - comminutor

"communitor": although used in some sources (e.g. Internet), the right spelling is "comminutor" and not "communitor". 4, record 2, English, - comminutor

Dilacération. Cette opération de traitement [...] a pour but de désintégrer les matières solides charriées par l'eau. Au lieu d'être extraites de l'effluent brut ces matières sont déchiquetées au passage et poursuivent le circuit de l'eau vers les stades de traitement suivants. [...] On distingue les dilacérateurs au fil de l'eau et les dilacérateurs associés (sous-entendu avec une grille mécanique). 1, record 2, French, - dilac%C3%A9rateur

Il n'existe pas en français d'équivalent parfait pour la notion anglaise. Les Français utilisent, soit des dilacérateurs (cutting and shredding), soit des broyeurs (grinding), mais aucun appareil ne fait les trois opérations. 2, record 2, French, - dilac%C3%A9rateur
