(...) le but du lavage est d'enlever la poussière (...) qui se trouve dans le sillon [du blé] et de permettre aussi l'élimination plus complète des corps étrangers (...) Déversé dans le bac de la laveuse, le blé est brassé dans l'eau par une vis d'Archimède et les pierres, le sable, plus lourds, tombent au fond et sont évacués, tandis que les déchets légers (...) flottent et sont également évacués.
