Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing
German term or phrase: Ausfahren (einer Charge)
As with previous question this relates to a packaging machine. It is a process in the manufacture which is referred to several times. I imagine this to be a process where the batch is fed out of the machine ready for the next batch to go on but believe there must be a better solution for "ausfahren" than "feed out"! Any suggestions appreciated.

e.g. Das Ausfahren einer Charge wurde beendet.

Explanation:
We used to use this phrasing in a different branch of the packaging industry.
The reference below is a different sector again, but confirms (I hope!) that this is a universal phrase.

Asker: Thanks for your suggestion, it definitely helped to get me thinking along the right lines but I felt that discharge worked better in my case.
