chockless/ throtless bodies
Explanation:
le "farfalle" in un'auto sono nel radiatore, forse qui siamo ancora in stato di assemblaggio dove le "farfalle" non sono state ancora montate.
si tratta di dischi di metallo che a seconda della posizione fanno entrare aria o no; throttles o chockes, a seconda del lavoro che fanno

throttle housings


Explanation:
It appears that they are using "sfarfallato" and "farfallato" as synonyms, at least in the autoindustria italiana.
The text in the reference exactly recites the throttle and whhat can be construed as a throttle housing. The same term can be found in Eurodicatom.
