To Asker If it were "on a des batteries de filtres à tambour qui sont très importants", it would make sense. However, this would imply a massive typo.
Tony M Oct 21, 2019:
@ Asker Aha! Could this source text have possibly been (machine?) translated from some other language? Marco's suggestion of 'wire drum filter' could well get mangled into something like your s/t...
As for 'batteries', it's not unusual to talk about 'banks of filters'.
Marco Solinas Oct 21, 2019:
To Asker It could have something to do with a wire drum filter (something like this: https://gkdusa.com/industrial-mesh/drum-filter-screens/ ). However, the "batteries" part throws me off.
Tony M Oct 21, 2019:
@ Asker Doesn't seem to make sense to me; is it possible there is text or punctuation missing, or some kind of typo / scanno? In particular, I can't see the sense of « ... de fil d'un tambour ... »?

drum filter with screen panels

Hello
Checking on Internet, drum filter for farming crabs, shrimps etc. is very common.
Some have screens and "fils" can means "trame" as in weave etc, so I suspect this is "screens"
All this gets you to a type of product as in my reference
But this is a long shot in that I'm kind of conjecturing so lets see what others say to this
Something went wrong...
