Finnish term

lipsuttelu-periaate

Finnish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) plant terminology
This is probably one of the strangest terms I've come across, so any suggestions for its English counterpart are more than welcome.

Kurri-linja YYXX on osa XX-linjaa ja pestään samanaikaisesti ja samaa reittiä. Pesu tapahtuu joko *lipsutteluperiaatteella*, jolloin linjan kumpaankin haaraan ohjataan pesua vuorotellen tai sitten kumpaakin haaraa yhtä aikaa.

Any suggestions?

agree Vladyslav Golovaty : alternate principle

agree Timo Lehtilä : Presumably. Apparently closed-circuit jargon that should have been cleaned away before translation.
