descarga de la amasadora (reading only)

English translation: discharge

Spanish term or phrase: descarga de la amasadora (reading only)
The problem here is a very peculiar way of saying things:
"Máquinas de amasado : El amasado se efectuará en máquinas adecuadas que proporcionen un mezclado íntimo de la masa, lo más homogéneo posible. La homogeneidad de la masa deberá mantenerse a lo largo de la descarga de la amasadora."
Obviously, the cement mixer neither "fires", "unloads", nor "discharges". Does this refer to pouring/casting operations (the chapter is on prefabrication of pre-stressed concrete), or is this interpreting too liberally?

mixer discharge


Explanation:
could refer to part of the mixer:

THE MIXER DISCHARGE SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH A PYROMETER OR THERMOMETER PROBE TO RECORD THE TEMPERATURE OF THE MIXTURE, AND THE DATA TRANSMITTED TO THE OPERATOR'S STATION.

or to the action:

Sampling from revolving drum truck mixers oragitators. The sample must be taken at three or moreregular intervals throughout the discharge of the entire batch, except that samples must not be taken at thebeginning or end of the discharge. Sampling must bedone by repeatedly passing a receptacle through theentire discharge stream or by diverting the streamcompletely so that it discharges into a container. www.advancement.cnet.navy.mil/products/web-pdf/ tramans/bookchunks/14045_ch3.pdf

while unloading the mixer


Explanation:
It might refer to keeping the cement as homogeneous possible while unloading the mixer. That is, during the process of taking the cement out of the mixer once it's ready. I'm not an expert on the subject: this is just my interpretation as a Spanish-speaker. I hope it helps.
