weight mass

English to Spanish Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Estoy traduciendo un expediente farmacéutico de unos comprimidos / tabletas proveniente de la India. En la sección del método de fabricación o manufactura dice:

"4. GRANULATION:-

Add paste in to RMG which contains the dry mixed ingredients for binding.
Start RMG and Bind the dry mixed materials and make lump mass.
After lump mass is prepared discharge the **weight mass** through discharge point into FBD bowl and go for next stage."

Gracias nuevamente por su ayuda
Proposed translations (Spanish)
4 +1 masa húmeda

@Neil Ashby The dry materials become moist or wet after adding the binder. How can you make a mass out of dry materials if it is not wet? Also if the mass is not wet, why would it go into a dryer? Please check the link I provided below:

Neil Ashby Sep 4, 2017:
But "wet mass" wouldn't follow any scientific logic whatsoever -
"Start RMG and Bind the DRY mixed materials and make lump mass.
After lump mass is prepared discharge the **weight mass**....." - at which point do the "DRY mixed materials" become wet? This is almost certainly MT or a poor translation into English (like so many), "weight mass" just means "lump mass" again.

SUGGESTION Considerando que "weight" y "mass" son dos cosas diferentes, creo que en este caso podría tratarse de un error tipográfico. De pronto quisieron decir "wet mass" (masa húmeda), lo cual tendría sentido considerando que luego la masa va a la secadora.

English term (edited): wet mass
Selected

masa húmeda

Es lo único que se me ocurre que podría tener sentido en este caso.
"weighed mass" sería una posibilidad, pero no lo creo probable en este caso.
