English term or phrase: Auger
Hi all, I'm looking for the Swedish word for auger, when used to define a hydraulic machine to raise water. I don't think the word 'borr' is sufficient. Any help appreciated!

Thanks

Titta gärna på mitt svar på detsamma frågan du redan ställde i Italian to Swedish rubriken. Auger är coclea på italienska och skruvtransportör på svenska. ;-)

neutral  Joakim Braun: I won't insist on this, but my ear wants "transportör" used for solids or semi-solids only (gravel, powder, concrete...).

Explanation:
"Skruvtransportör" sounds a little bit strange when the context is liquids (although it's used for concrete, for instance).
