Macchina per la distribuzione di farina sulla superficie della pasta per pane.
Tipo con coclea di distribuzione farina per uniformare la quantità di farina in tramoggia.
Sono applicati una serie di pattini per parzializzare la distribuzione di farina.
Prima di smontare il coppo, indietreggiare tutti i PATTINI PARZIALIZZATORI tirandoli con la mano.
My client uses the term runners for pattini, usually parzializzare can be many things, I do not think it may be translated with "shutter" in this case........

flow divider blocks
Hi Giovanna
I wonder whether your customer uses "runners" because it's a quick dictionary definition for "pattini" (so it may not be an appropriate translation). The expression is often used in my experience simply to denote that the parts in question are slideably positionable. A more neutral word such as "device" or, as I have suggested "block" may be better. Note that the expression "slideblock" is sometimes used to translate "pattini". As for "parzializzazione", I guess you could refer to the flow of flour with something like "flow regulator", "output regulator" or, as I suggest above, "flow divider". All these ideas have been conceived in my few remaining braincells and have no direct relationship with the specific field in which you are working, so I am assuming you have already searched for similar machines and have been unable to find an English description of such a specific system (not unlikely inmo).
On the other hand, if the customer has used "runners" in the past
then presumably this term will be perfectly acceptable in your translation.
Cheers
Derek

Comment: "Hi Derek,
I totally agree with you on the translation of "pattini", however the client insists we use it.....
Thank you for your input, MY braincells are dead....
