Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Steinbruch
German term or phrase: gattern
Es geht um ein Memo, das die Besichtigung mehrerer Steinbrüche behandelt. Dort wurde sich umgesehen, wie die Kapazitäten sind, ob der Bruch die gewünschte Qualität hat, wie die Fabrikation ist usw.

"Zum Aufschneiden der Blöcke existieren im Werk XXX lediglich zwei Blocksägen. Damit und mit den Schleif- und Bearbeitungsmaschinen ist die Plattenbreite auf max. 61 cm begrenzt. Kapazitätsangabe von YYY vgl. Checkliste, zu überprüfen! Größere Formate sollen in einer eigenen [?] Fabrikation in Izmir ***gegattert*** werden, die wir uns noch nicht ansehen konnten. Nach Angabe von YYY sei die Fertigungskapazität für Rohplatten und cut-to-size-Material dort ausreichend (ebenfalls zu überprüfen)."

cut on a gang saw
Explanation:
Gattersäge – gang saw
http://www.dict.cc/german-english/Gattersäge.html

Nicht nur Holz wird gegattert, sondern auch Natursteine: Steinblöcke, die in Steinbrüchen gebrochen werden, werden in Steinindustriebetrieben mit Gattern zu Platten und Tranchen zerteilt.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattersäge

Once blocks of stone reach the processing facility, they are cut down into smaller more manageable pieces. For tile, this means cutting the stone into billets before polishing. For slab materials, this typically means a trip to the gang saw. A gang saw works just like a giant bread slicer, with many adjustable blades that allow for the thickness of the slabs to be adjusted. The gang saw can cut the entire block of stone into slabs at one time. More delicate materials may require the use of a diamond wire saw to gently cut one slab at a time with less trauma to the stone. The most recent technology involves multi-wire gang saws which have the potential speed production on exotic materials exponentially.

Or "gang sawn"
We further process our slabs through a 'Hydrasplitting' machine. Generally 'Gang Sawn' slabs are 'Split' to create this capping.
