French term or phrase: broyeur

I know it is a grinder but I have also seen shredder, mill - are they interchangeable or is one more specific than the other - to mill and to grind should be one in the same but shredding is different

Explanation:
I gather you're in the cement industry, but even within those confines terms will vary depending on the stage in the process;

Rock from quarries will first go to the crusher.

The clinker that comes out of the kiln will be put through a mill, producing cement.

And the cement process might use shredded waste of different kinds (shredded tyres, other automotive shredded residues - ASR, shredded solid waste - SSW, shredded bulky waste - SBW), though in my experience the shredding is done before it reaches the cement plant.

Sorry, didn't complete my train of thought ... The various wastes are used as substitute fuels to fire the kiln.
