Italian term or phrase: Giramazzette
Hello,

Can somebody help me out with the term "giramazzette" from Italian into English? The context is not very clear but I think that it refers to paper making machines. The sentence says: "Verificare la richiesta di 'Fine ciclo' dal giramazzette".
Thank you.

agree  Jo Macdonald: Sorry Umberto, didn’t see your answer. Ok for Pile reverser. I’m not too sure about “pallet” turner though. It turns sheets, not pallets doesn't it?
