Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | Dutch term or phrase: zitting | eigenlijk gaat het om "de zitting van de deur"
"De zitting van de deur moet regelmatig worden gereinigd. Dit moet gedaan worden voor
opstart van de stoomschiller, wanneer het vat nog koud is < 60 °C.
Inspecteer de zitting van de deur. Als er vuil aan de zitting kleeft moet de zitting worden
gereinigd. Wanneer de zitting zeer snel vervuild raakt zal het te verwerken product
waarschijnlijk niet goed schoon zijn. Controleer dan of er voldoende water wordt gebruikt in
de voorwasser. Het is mogelijk dat er een sproeier verstopt is of dat er vervuild water
gebruikt wordt."

| | English translation:door-seating flange | Explanation:
Hello Maciej,
That's a tricky one. It's hard to say without seeing any photos or drawings. Based on the text you've provided, I have made a number of assumptions: It looks like the text pertains to an industrial machine, perhaps one that removes the skin from potatoes. The potatoes (or whatever they are) are first washed and then loaded into the machine. Apparently the machine has a door that makes a water-tight seal when it is closed. If there is too much dirt left on the potatoes, the door doesn't seal properly.
The 'zitting' is the opening that the door seals against. If the door is hinged (i.e. it swings open), I would say 'flange' is a good choice. If it slides up and down, 'track' might be better. I also considered 'frame' and 'sill', but I don't think either word works well here. 'Flange' is probably safe either way, but you could argue that a flange could also be a lip attached to the edge of the door (that would not be a 'zitting'). In that case, I would say 'door-seating flange' is a better option.
By the way, the Concise Oxford dictionary (11th edition) defines a flange as 'a projecting rim or piece'. |
