Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les grains, après avoir été récoltés et battus, se trouvent en général menés à leurs balles, à des semences d'herbes parasites, à de la terre, etc. Pour les nettoyer et les débarrasser de ces corps étrangers, on a recours au vannage qui consiste à les soumettre à l'action d'un fort courant d'air; celui-ci entraîne les corps plus légers auxquels les grains sont mélangés. L'opération du vannage se fait généralement avec un tarare. 3, record 4, French, - vannage

Tarares. - Ces appareils [de triage] opèrent par différence de densité. Les grains tombent d'une trémie sur un jeu de grilles à secousses qui arrêtent et éliminent les grosses impuretés. Le mélange des grains, de balles et de poussières passe à travers les grilles et est soumis à l'action d'un courant d'air, réglable en intensité et en direction. Celui-ci élimine les impuretés légères, pendant que le grain est retenu sur une grille interchangeable ne laissant passer que les petites impuretés lourdes. 1, record 5, French, - tarare
