Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Bags for medical purposes
German term or phrase: Abfallgitter
Die "Nutzenerzeugstation" ist diejenige Station an der Fügeanlage, deren Werkzeug die letztendliche Form des Nutzens vorgibt und somit eine Aufteilung der Folie in den Nutzen und das Abfallgitter vornimmt.

Dabei sei darauf hingewiesen, dass ein Abfallgitter nicht zwingend anfallen muss.

waste section
Explanation:
This is the part of the plastic film that would have been discarded and which the invention has saved for use. If you don't like "waste" I suppose "scrap" would also be possible.

neutral  Steffen Walter: Or "offcut section/portion", but not necessarily saved for use, depending on the settings of the station/unit/tool.

neutral  Erich Hegenberger: I'd agree except the picture in the patent just shows a section of plastic film (and it's described and numbered so that's clearly the bit they mean) with no sign of any grid or grate. I'd chalk it up to poor word choice on the part of the author.

  -> Yes, I think you're right about the poor word choice too.
