palotto
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Not much context. The palotto should be grounded in order to avoid the buildup of electrostatic charges when doing a scarico arelle.
Any ideas?????

Rethinking this, by 'palotto' I think they mean a little 'shovel' for harvesting your crop of antibiotics growing on the cane surface.
Here is a site where palotto is used in the sense of small shovel:

Grounding this instrument in order to avoid static electricity buildup while harvesting would entail something like attaching a wire from the palotto to a ground source (ground of an outlet, or just to the plumbing). Just as I used a grounding bracelet when adding memory to my laptop.
If I'm correct in guessing what it's used for, you could probably find the correct word for 'palotto' on the page someone else mentioned for one of your other terms, or in any case in a pharmeceutical glossary.

pole
You asked for ideas, and that's all I have--totally guessing. I think perhaps they used 'palotto' for (small) pole, to be grounded. Could it be the third prong on a plug, for instance?
Still, like Giovanni says, it would be best to give all the context you've got. (Original sentence, etc.)

pole /post /pile
Without the sentence I'd guess that if the palotto was to do with electricity or telephone/telegraph it would be "post/pole" and if it was wooden, steel or concrete it would be "pile"

paletto = small pole
Never heard about palotto. In italian dictionaries does not exist. There is "paletto" = small pole (wood or metal)
