snow-blower
Bonjour,
je traduis un texte parlant d'une fraise à neige (ou souffleuse à neige). Dans mon texte, le terme "pump" (ou "snow pump"), un élément de cette machine, revient très souvent. Sauriez-vous comment le traduire ?
"The snowblower has a motor that powers a pump that propels the snow out through a discharge chute."

Strictly speaking, the device referred to in the source text is not a 'pump'.
