English term or phrase: chain and flight collectors
It's a set of specifications for a water treatment plant. One of the items is:

- Settling tanks equipped with sludge collector of the bridge and ***chain and flight*** type.

Chain and flight collector is a type of collector used for primary clarifiers. I couldn't find anything in Spanish about it... Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
