Selected
utilisation factor, load factor
Tip: try googling 'utilisation factor' or 'utilization factor' in combination with machine.
'Load factor' is often used in a very machine-technical sense, but according to 'Terminology in Logistics', published by the European Logistics Association, the term can also mean 'bezettingsfactor', which, I would say, is the same as 'benuttingsfactor'.

effective machine time coefficient
I first thought of 'machine uptime', but then considered that 'effective machine time' is possible closer as the machine is not necessarily down when there is no feed.

capacity usage ratio
Another option to be considered, as an alternative to Chris's suggestion.
