French term or phrase: chaine de grattage

This is in a summary of an auditor's report on the accounts of a French fertiliser manufacturer. It's listed as an acquisition under tangible assets.

Unfortunately, I don't know where or when it's used in the process. I've found a reference for tickler chain but it seems to be used mainly in the fishing industry. I've also thought it might be scraping chain - does that make sense? The cost is € 39,000

Other acquisitions are

Transformateur
Remplacement conduite dépotage
Transformation vannes
Reacteur...

Thanks.
