At the point of transition from the cylindrical, to the conical section, the sediment is subjected to back-pressure which becomes weaker as the angle of the bowl reduces. This pressure must not destroy the cohesion of thickened sludge, otherwise extraction will be poor and a substantial amount of suspension will be reformed. 1, record 3, English, - back%2Dpressure

À la transition de la partie cylindrique vers la partie conique, le sédiment est soumis à une forme de reflux d'autant plus faible que l'angle du bol l'est. Cette force ne doit pas détruire la cohésion de la boue épaissie; sinon l'extraction se fera mal ou entraînera une remise en suspension importante. 1, record 3, French, - force%20de%20reflux
