Could this be milk cartons?
It seems a bit strange in the context of the document, which is about testing various aspects of a fish de-scaling product. It doesnt mention milk cartons anywhere else. Any other thoughts?
Los clipajes de la tapa transparente, no son una buena solución en el caso de tener que andar montando y desmontando el conjunto para su limpieza.
Habría que pensar en sistema de giro y traba; dispositivo de los actuales *bricks de leche*.
Habría que realizar un orificio de drenaje entre la base y la empuñadura, ya que las juntas tóricas para el aislamiento de la humedad están situadas en la empuñadura.

: Yes, this is what 'bricks de leche' is. If Kathleen wanted "gira y traba', she should have posted a different/a second KudoZ question.

twist and lock
It refers to the water-tight system for closing the milk cartons (tetrapak type caps)

milk carton
I think the text is indeed referring to milk cartons and using them as an example of a screw-top mechanism (the one you find on the top of milk cartons in Spain at least).

Perhaps the 2nd part of the sentence could be translated as:
(similar to) the mechansim used in cutting-edge [Spanish] milk cartons.
As Noni indicated, this would be something like the screw tops recently introduced and used in more and more milk cartons here in Spain (y, ! bien venidos! "abrefácil', my eye! Always ended up spilling milk or having to dig them out with a knife...).
Interesting post here, which refers to *"milk carton" closure* as if it is a recognised denomination but I don't have time to read further, sorry: http://www.minsocam.org/ammin/AM70/AM70_200.pdf
