frantumatore

English translation: (grain) crusher

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:frantumatore
English translation:(grain) crusher

Italian term or phrase: frantumatore
This refers to a machine for crushing (and then eventually milling) cereal grains. The word press is used previously in the document to describe a light pressing of the grains in order to remove grain oils. This is in a later stage of the process, where the deoiled grains are now being crushed.
I've looked at other entries in the glossaries for "frantumatore" used in other sectors, i.e. "gravel crusher". Would it then be acceptable to translate this as "grain crusher" or is there another term used in this sector?

[PDF] Effect of Additional Separation and Grinding on the Chemical and ...
File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML
Additional separation of corn grits caused significant differences in crude fat content between the original corn grits and the separated corn grits. This was consistent throughout all three products (sources 1, 2, and 3). The differences between source 1 and sources 2 and 3 could have been caused by differences in corn blends, dry-milling process flow, or the degerminator used. The type of degerminator used in a milling process could affect the crude fat content of the product because most of the crude fat is concentrated in the germ. Sources 2 and 3 were larger corn dry-milling facilities that use a Beall degerminator on the germ removal process of the germ, whereas source 1 is a smaller corn dry-milling company that used a Buhler impact degerminator to remove the corn germ.
