Polish term or phrase: łyżka
Po odwierceniu 50 – 100 cm, wyciągano warsztat wiertniczy i zapuszczano łyżkę w celu oczyszczenia odwiertu z urobku. Łyżka to kilkumetrowa rura, zakończona na spodzie klapą umożliwiającą utrzymanie i wyciagnięcie urobku na powierzchnię.

I can imagine it, thanks to the text, and translate a description. But I'm wondering if anybody has a precise translation of the term in this context?
thanks again
