Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Filter
German term or phrase: Drehschleuse
"Problem - Spaneausträg verstopft
Cause - Dichtlippen an Drehschleuse defekt
Solution - Dichtlippen kontrollieren und event. ersetzen"

From the troubleshooting section of a small text about some sort of filter thing. I can't find a translation for "Drehschleuse" anywhere. Is it essentially the same as "Zellenradschleuse", i.e. rotary feeder? TIA for your help.
