Tech/Engineering - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Pharmaceutical
German term or phrase: Koller
The text is describing a "Flachmatrizenpresse" used as part of a pelletising process. It turns the wet pellet mixture into extruded pellets.
'Die für den Preßvorgang wichtigen Werkzeuge sind die Koller und die gelochte Matrize.'
I would like to know what 'Koller' could be but also is it ok to translate the machine as a 'flat matrix press' because this doesn't get many hits on the net'?
