Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / road paver
Italian term or phrase: cordone centrale
Il sistema di battuta verticale a barre “TAMPER” è il primo dispositivo che interviene nell’eliminazione del cordone centrale, al quale seguirà quello di precompattazione a “VIBRANTI”.

Actually, I am translating it into Czech, but no one is able to help me. It is a road paver. It is the only context available.

Thank you!

This is what cordone means:

2 Seguito di elementi un poco rilevati che borda, delimita qlco.: c. del marciapiede, dell'aiuola

I imagine this is a slightly raised portion that is formed between two newly paved lanes and that needs to be flattened, as your text explains.
