German term or phrase: 2er-Takt
"Die zweite Etikettierstation etikettiert die durch den 2er-Takt noch nicht etikettierten Produkte."
Vorgang: Prismenband taktet Produkt um 2 Produkte weiter bis zur ersten Einschiebestation. In der Einschiebestation wird jedes 2. Produkt auf den Aufnahmedorn geschoben und in der 1. Etikettierstation etikettiert. Die übrigen Produkte kommen dann in die 2. Etikettierstation (siehe Satz oben).

single-skip (labeling process)
Explanation:
There can be a 15% loss in single skip (2 rows (1m row width) planted, 1 row skipped)
and a 30% loss in double skip (2 rows (1m row width) planted, 2 rows ... (an example from sorghum seeding but the principle is similar)

I think the idea is that there are two labelers and products are labeled alternately so there is a "single" skip and every second product is labeled by the other system.
