CONT

Les tarares trient les matières d'après leur épaisseur et leur largeur. Le grain passe sur une série de tamis inclinés, animés d'un mouvement d'oscillation. Les matières les plus grosses et les plus épaisses restent sur le dessus tandis que les plus petites tombent successivement sur les tamis inférieurs où le processus se répète.
