French term or phrase: filtre deroulant en toile
Dans les chambres 8.1.1 a 8.1.4, un filtre deroulant en toile est pose sur la grille d’extraction. Le personnel travaillant dans ces chambres enroule ce filtre en fonction de son degre de souillure. Lors d’une etude GLP, cette activite est documentee dans les donnees brutes de celle-ci.

This is from a description of an air filter in a room where veterinary tests are conducted. :(

What I have so far is "scrolling fabric filter," but I honestly can't envision what's going on. Has anybody ever heard of such a thing? I guess it makes sense... but then it's rolled up? So they can then put a clean, unused part of the filter in front of the air vent?

Such esoterica...

a fabric filter [on a reel] unwinds over the vent [or is unwound]


Explanation:
it means that you unwind or unreel it to put it in place and the lab people wind it up on a reel...the idea here is Wind/unwind..a thing on some kind of reel..

here is an explanation of a similar thing

cabinet with the air intake and air filter on the back panel. ... Place the reel so that it will turn counter clockwise as the tape unwinds. ...

Explanation:
I like your "scrolling fabric filter" which says exactly what I understand from the French, even if it isn't (= might not be) the approved technical term.
