Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Plastics - blow moulding
German term or phrase: Abrissschieber
Term appears in a troubleshooting section of the document, which is about plastic articles formed in a mould in a blow moulding machine.

Bodenabfall nicht sauber abgetrennt - Abrissschieber prüfen, ggf. reparieren.

Having discussed the term with the customer, they have confirmed that the "Abrissschieber" removes excess material from the bottom of the article.

I would translate "schieber" as "slider" and visualise something with a blade that slides along and takes off the excess material. Is anyone familiar with the correct terminology for this machine part?

Explanation:
I know this is being used for parts to remove excessive materials, e.g. glue scraper in a labelling machine and it is a sort of blade thing as you describe.
Don't know if it is used for blow moulders as well.
