German term or phrase: Zyklon
Comes in a text about SAP computer administration of components of compounds. Seems to be some sort of production by-product.

'Pro kg Zyklon muss eine bestimmte Menge an Binder und Wasser hinzugerechnet werden).'

'Die Materialnummer steht für den Zyklon selbst. Die erwartete Menge steht in der Stückliste mit einem minus (diese Position steht für den Zyklon, der in diesem Fertigungsauftrag anfällt)'

'Es gibt Nebenprodukte (Zyklone), die wieder ins Produkt verarbeitet werden'

'Die Zyklonmenge, die bei der Produktion erst enteht (Zyklon) - wird nicht gedruckt.'

Zyklonmenge: quantity of by-products

Explanation:
I haven´t seen it used exactly like this before, but I know that Zyklon can mean a centrifuge. Here it seems to be material that is extracted or separated by centrifuging. Whether such material is called "centrifuge" ... well it might be ...
