"Zellenradschleuse (1): Dichtlippen des Rotors auf Verschleiss prüfen"

From a little text about some sort of filter device where most of it is in English, but there are a few isolated bits in German. This is from a page about maintenance checks. Others (listed in English) are: clean and check seals; check seal on inspection door; check fan impeller for untrue running; check filter in the measuring line for blocking; test vibrations on filter housing. (I'm quoting directly from the text here, hence the odd expressions like "untrue running".)

The only thing that I can find for "Dichtlippen" is "Dichtlippen-Einzieher", translated by Laixicon as "lipping tool". So is this just the lipping of the rotor? I'm not at all sure. TIA for your assistance.
Proposed translations (English)

Further Context It also appears in a troubleshooting section, as follows (the original was a table, but you can't to tables here, so I've had to adjust the formatting):

Problem - Spaneausträg verstopft
Cause - Dichtlippen an Drehschleuse defekt
Solution - Dichtlippen kontrollieren und event. ersetzen

Does this inspire anyone at all?

agree Johannes Gleim : sealing lip laut LEO. Nicht "lip seal" (Lippendichtung).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I should have realised this was a singular and looked up the singular form *slaps forehead*. LEO and Laixicon confirm "sealing lip" for "Dichtlippe", and I see a couple of peer graders confirm it too, so that's what I'll use. Still, no harm in putting this in the KOG as well. Many thanks - appreciate everyone's help."
