Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Manufacturing of candy
Swedish term or phrase: egaliseringsband
Again, not much context. Hopefully this will ring a bell. the paragraph is as follows:

"Inspektion of Egaliseringsband
Kontrollera att bandet inte är skadat.
Upptäcker du skador så rapportera det till underhåll"

Explanation:
As you undoubtedly know already, "egaliseringsband" does not enjoy wide popularity on Google. :-) On the theory that someone has improvised in translating to Swedish, I looked for paths to follow back to an original English term. So far, my best candidate is "smoothing belt", which enjoys some popularity in the paper-making industry. See the reference link for Google examples.
