English term or phrase: be kept in depression (urgent please)
All equipment of the plant extension are kept in depression and are connected to the filter.

I'm working on an urgent job and about to send it to the cient. I have just dawned on me while reading the translation for final control that I probabaly misinterpreted the sentence. I need help urgently.

Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
In this way, all the sheets of cardboard are sucked against the belts 6 of the conveyor by a depression created inside the casing, which exerts a suction on the sheets by means of the openings 12. This negative pressure is created inside the casing by any suitable apparatus, for example by a helicoid ventilator with variable blades

Instead a system was developed to pull dry air through the carburetor creating a \"depression\" or negative pressure, which is just the scientific way of saying \"vacuum,\" at the bottom of the carb.

"kept in *a* depression" (a low spot?)

It is common to build shallow tanks for equipment to prevent spilled chemicals from spreading. Is this the case?

agree  Tsu Dho Nimh: The equipment mentioned would handle dry materials, so a spill containment tank isn't needed. The "decreased pressure" explanation is probably better.
