Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Processo de produção
Portuguese term or phrase: Embolamento
A expressão aparece algumas vezes em relatórios de turno de produção de uma fábrica de latas de alumínio, como no exemplo:

"(…) em sequência da troca da guia do base reformer, com dificuldades de ajustes pelo mentor e *embolamentos* nas estações anteriores. (…) minutos depois estava gerando muitos *embolamentos* nas estações. Fizemos várias verificações de guias, pressões de ar e vácuo, alimentação de latas e após muito tempo ajustamos a velocidade dos exaustores de vácuo (…) Porém, os mesmos não passam de 2300 lpm, o que gera muitos *embolamentos*."

Qual seria a melhor expressão em inglês para transmitir o significado de "embolamento"?
