Horizontal grinders also use hammermills or fixed knife mills to grind materials, and a set of grates to control particle size. Horizontal grinders have a large, horizontal, conveyor system that moves material laterally towards the mill. Immediately in front of the mill is a large, cleated, feed drum that grabs materials and forces them against the mill. The grinding chamber itself is fully enclosed within the machine. 1, record 1, English, - horizontal%20grinder

Les broyeurs horizontaux utilisent aussi des broyeurs à marteaux ou des broyeurs à couteaux fixes pour broyer des matières, ainsi qu'un ensemble de grilles pour contrôler la taille des particules. Les broyeurs horizontaux ont un gros convoyeur qui déplace la matière vers le broyeur. Un grand tambour d'alimentation à taquet est placé directement devant le broyeur; il coince les matières et les force contre le broyeur. La chambre de broyage elle-même est totalement enfermée dans la machine. 1, record 1, French, - broyeur%20horizontal

The splitting machine is a precision band knife that will level the skin to a uniform thickness. By its use a grain layer or a split can be obtained for shoe upper leather. For upholstery leather, where very light leathers are needed from large, thick hides, several layers may be cut. The belt knife of the splitting machine is a precision-ground loop knife kept sharp by two properly positioned grinding wheels. The position of the knife is accurately controlled by means of settings by the operator. 3, record 2, English, - splitting%20machine
