Thanks everyone for the help!

Here's another example ... where they spell it both "bache" and "bacheo":

agree with Patrick :-)

Daniel Penso (asker) Aug 12, 2014:

Thank you Patrick Bearne. I think batches per hour might be it.

Patrick Bearne Aug 12, 2014:

Batches per hour I think this a case of a borrowing from English. I think it is batches per hour. See this link and look at the last line of the "problem".

@Daniel Could also mean revolutions of the conveyor belt per hour....let us know what your client says..me pica la curiosidad :)

Daniel Penso (asker) Aug 12, 2014:

Thank you philgoddard and Chris Neill. Philgoddard - I'll have to ask the client.

@Daniel Don't know if this helps: Basculas de paso y "bacheo" seem to be a type of hopper scale

philgoddard Aug 12, 2014:

I think it means it does something ten times in an hour. Is that how long it takes to fill the hoppers, perhaps?

Daniel Penso (asker) Aug 12, 2014:

Its a description of a double hopper scale.

Bascula 8.5 m de largo y esta disenado para transportador de cadena.

La capacidad: 3000
Bacheos hora: 10
Division: 0.1 kg
Alimentacion: 110t/h

The only definition I've found for bachear is to repair potholes.
Could you give us the context, please? I'm sure you haven't just been given two words to translate. What is the text about, and what does it say before and after this?
