scoop or bailer
vertedor nm
(a) (salida) runway, overflow; (desague) drain, outlet; spillway
(b) (Naut) scoop, bailer
(c) (cuchara etc) scoop, small shovel
In what context is the "piece of equipment" (aparato) used? Is it a specialized piece of equipment? It would only be a bailer if you were in a leaky boat. And a 'scoop' suggests something very simple -- spoonlike.
I hope this helps and that you find the appropriate English expression.
