Italian term

riduttore

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering silos
I realize that this has been asked before but can't seem to understand the context here. This is from a manual for a polystyrene storage silo.

Original text where the term is used:

-Gruppo movimentazione materiale completo di piastra di fissaggio e **riduttore**

• Installare il gruppo di movimentazione del materiale con **riduttore** nella apposita sede, fissare le balestre al tamburo e controllarne la adeguata e corretta rotazione delle stesse
• Installare il motovariatore al **riduttore**

• Ogni sei mesi controllare il livello dell'olio nel **riduttore** e nel motovariatore e rabboccare se necessario.
• Ogni tre mesi controllare il livello dell'olio nel gruppo **riduttore**-filtro dell'aria compressa e rabboccare se necessario.

- GRUPPO MOVIMENTAZIONE MATERIALE A BALESTRA 4 balestre con motovariariduttore

"A reducer is a type of adapter.
All reducers are adapters.

And adapter may not be a reducer.
All adapters are NOT reducers."

This should help you decide which term is more suitable.

Also, there are very few references of adaptors that need oil changes, but many on reducers that do.
