There are three points indicated by the arrows with these words Massa/Grasa; one of them in my interpretation appears to be the concrete output. I asked a better scan to the customer, the text is multilingual and it is not clear what he wants from me. So, thanks everybody, you've provided me linguistic arguments so that I can have a proper stand in my explanation to him... :)

The original language of the paper is Portugese. The term "betoneira" (cement mixer) is central to this paper.
The term that appears and has to be translated is Massa / Grasa.
Portugese "Massa" is in Spanish "mortero/argamasa" (and I believe wrongly translated into "grasa").
Where does the arrow point to in the figure?

Now I'm a little bit enlighted, so "grasa" is the Spanish for "grease" or, if my eyes were wrong, it might be the Portuguese "graxa", right?

Original Portugese---- "massa"
Portugese into Spanish ------ "mortero/argamasa"
Spanish into English ----- "Mortar/grout"

This has nothing to do with lubrication.

I am so sorry for my mistake...I don't know why, but I assumed you were asking for the Portuguese translation for these words, but I now see you're searching for the Spanish into English translation...
Therefore, I believe the correct translation for them would be: "Mortar/grease, Oil/lubricant" (my suggestion:))
Good luck on your work!

Obviously a trado'trad.
Should have been translated as "argamasa" or "mortero".

Dear Misu,

"grasa" is grease in spanish language, "graxa" is it in portuguese language; so if someone made one language misspeling, there may be other such language mixtures on source text.
