An infeed system for a horizontal grinder intended to process loose, unconsolidated materials includes a feed table with a chain conveyor on a floor and sides to support the material to be processed. The infeed system further includes an upper feed roller configured for powered rotation so that the outer surface moves in coordination with the chain conveyor to move material to a grinding chamber. The feed roller is positioned between the sides to minimize the potential for materials to become wedged or trapped. A hydraulic circuit and control system to control the position/orientation of the feed roller to keep it parallel to the feed table.
