Spanish term or phrase: cuchara bivalba
If someone could help me I'd appreciate it, thanks.

It's part of an overhead crane used for 'ladling' out slag (escoria) from the slag pit.

"La capacidad mínima de la cuchara bivalba será: 3m3 considerando una densidad de material de 0,85 ton/m3 con cuchara cerrada"

It's definitely 'bivalBa' and not 'bivalva'.

I've translated it as 'bivalve ladle', which is kind of accurate, but it doesn't actually exist. I like the sound of 'double scoop', but the I can't help thinking - ICE CREAM.

Please tell me what this is called in English:
