German term or phrase: Abrieb
Es werden
- magnetische Verunreinigungen wie Schleifabrieb u. a.
- nichtmagnetischer Abrieb der an ferromagnetischen Teilchen anhaftet
von der Magnetwalze, die sich entgegen der Durchlaufrichtung des Kühlmittels dreht, angezogen und ausgetragen.
Die verstellbaren Abstreifer aus Messing - Blech sind in Austragrichtung schräg ansteigend an die Magnetwalze montiert. Somit ist gewährleistet, dass die verbleibende Restflüssigkeit (haftet am Abrieb) Gelegenheit hat, in die Anlage zurückzufließen, während der Abrieb sich über den höchsten Punkt schiebt. Hinter dem Abstreifer fällt der Abrieb leicht vorgetrocknet in den Schmutzbehälter (bauseitig).

The text is about a "Kühlschmierstoff-Reinigungsanlage" and words like abrasion, fretting, scraping, attrition or wear etc just dont seem accurate at all! !!

Can someone help with this?

Asker: I couldnt agree more over there with Ken and with you too. German nouns can be so nasty at times and can get on your nerves!

agree Ken Cox: German abstract nouns have a thousand faces...
