Definition from
Right Solution, Inc.:
Crumple Zones are sections of the front and rear of a vehicle that are designed to crumple during a crash so as to take as much energy as possible and keep the vehicle's occupants protected.
Example sentences:
Crumple zones yield during a crash, changing energy from the crash, into heat and sound, which in turn reduces the chances that the passengers in the car will be hurt. (Crumple Zones)
When used in crumple zones, lightweight plastic components can help absorb energy and save vehicle weight at the same time. (American Chemistry Council)
The downside to modern "soft design" crumple zones is that they allow more damage to occur to a vehicle even when the collision is relatively minor and of no major threat to the safety of the occupants, thereby increasing repair costs. (Autotropolis)

Zone de déformation
Definition from
autoexport91.com:
Zone de la voiture qui se déforme d'une manière contrôlée pour absorber un choc et réduire la décélération des passagers
Example sentences:
Les véhicules Toyota disposent à l’avant et à l’arrière de zones de déformation préprogrammées, destinées à absorber autant que possible la majeure partie des forces dégagées par une collision. A l’issue d’un impact, l’énergie qui subsiste se dissipe dans le cadre de la carrosserie. Ce type de structure intelligente qui absorbe l’énergie contribue fortement à préserver l’intégrité de l’habitacle.

Note from asker:
| There's something called a column-supported settling tank, but it doesn't sound packaging related. What are the other items on the list, assuming that's what it is? |
| could it be a decanter centrifuge? |
| Yes, "column-supported clarifier" or "settling tank" should do it. Clarifiers are commonly used in the pulp and paper industry. This includes mills that make packaging materials. Clarifiers are also used in the wastewater treatment plants of almost all industries. |
| I'm still going to wait for some context. |
| Client not very communicative. Not a centrifuge though. Seems to be some sort of scraper and heavy lifter. |
| Settler/clarifier. Very early on in the cardboard/packaging process. |
