underflow
Explanation:
En tiedä, mikä laite sinulla on, mutta alitevirta/alite/alivirta/tuotevirta kulkee ainakin hydrosykloneissa, joissa se on englanniksi underflow tai reject.

"--kiteet luokitellaan hydrosyklonilla, jonka ylite (alikokoiset kiteet) palautetaan
takaisin hapetusvaiheeseen. Tuotevirtaan eli alitteeseen lahtee 2/3 sykloniin
syötetyista kipsikiteista. Syklonin alitevirta pumpataan seuraavaksi
pesuvaiheeseen, jossa kiteet puhdistetaan vedella vaadittuun puhtausasteeseen."

"A hydrocyclone has two exits on the axis: the smaller on the bottom (underflow or reject) and a larger at the top (overflow or accept). The underflow is generally the denser or thicker fraction, while the overflow is the lighter or more fluid fraction."

agree  Timo Lehtilä: On syytä huomata, että näissä kahdessa esimerkissä ensimmäisessä 'accept' (hyväksytty, saanto) on 'underflow' (alitevirta), jälkimmäisessä taas 'overflow' (ylitevirta). Accept voi siis olla kumpi virta tahansa, riippuen siitä, mitä syklotronilta halutaan.
