When talking about the device used to push the sludge obtained at the bottom of the basin after treatment of the water with chemicals :
NARRATOR = THEN THIS CONTRAPTION, CALLED A RAKE, SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS THE FLOOR PUSHING THE SLUDGE DOWN THE DRAIN.

râcleur
Le choix des matériaux métalliques (caillebotis, garde corps, racleur,…) doit privilégier
l’aluminium et l’inox et proscrire autant que possible l’acier galvanisé. L’inox 304 est réservé
pour la construction classique (caillebotis, canalisations, support de sondes,…). L’inox 316 L est
à utiliser dans les cas de risque d’agression par des réactifs chimiques (chlorure ferrique, …) et
dans les cas d’ambiances salines et marines (bords de mer…).
