German term or phrase: Rücklaufrührwerk
"Die Regelarmatur ist vom Fahrersitz aus gut bedienbar und ein Rücklaufrührwerk sorgt für eine gleichmäßige Durchmischung der Spritzbrühe."

On a sprayer, a "Rührwerk" is an agitator, but I can't find a translation for "Rücklaufrührwerk" anywhere, and I'm not too sure what it means. Very few Google hits for either "return agitator" or "reverse agitator". But what else could it possibly be? TIA for your assistance.
