Spanish term or phrase: fondo de olla (in this context)
This term is from a time-and-distance study done at a mine smelting plant in Chile, regarding the machinery that moves slag pots around, in order to get rid of the slag from the smelter.

The text describes the procedure that the operators of these machines must follow when dumping the slag, and at the pots are weighed both before and after the slag is dumped. The text then goes on:

"Si la tara excede 80 ton, el operador se dirige hacia el sector de la Cancha Zzzzzz, para botar el ***fondo de olla*** que se genera por acumulacion de cobre decantado. Una vez retirado este ***fondo de olla*** se dirige hacia el sector del botadero Xxxx, donde debe blanquear la olla, es decir, rocia su interior una solution de agua y ceniza de hueso, para evitar que el ***fondo de olla*** se pegue en ella. Se dirige nuevamente a la Bascula para que quede registrada su tara y con ello el peso del ***fondo de olla***."
