In addition to primary cleaning machines, special machines are available for more specific separations. Most of these separate on the same basis as cylinder and screen machines although some, such as the destoner, separate by specific gravity. These special machines reclaim, size, destone and make further separations of grain and screenings. 3, record 1, English, - destoner

Stone remover with suction. The de-stoner machine has an inclined vibrating screen under a controlled vacuum or suction. A layer of floating grain moves on an air cushion in the delivery direction. Particles of higher specific gravity fall through the sieve and move upward to the upper discharge outlet. The light fraction is lifted off with the adjustable suction. 2, record 1, English, - destoner

Outre les machines de nettoyage primaire, il y a d’autres appareils pour effectuer des tâches plus précises. La plupart fonctionnent selon le même principe que les tarares ou les séparateurs, bien que certaines, comme les épierreurs, séparent les matières d’après la densité. Ces machines spéciales récupèrent, classent par grosseur, épierrent et effectuent d’autres triages du grain et des criblures. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pierreur

The [washer, stoner and whizzer] is in two sections, the washing and stoning tank and the whizzer. Water is contained in the washing and stoning tank (...), and the wheat is fed through a spout (...) into a trough containing a worm conveyor, or wheat worm (...); below the wheat worm is the stoning worm (...). The spout discharges the wheat through a troughed feed hopper into the rising side of the wheat worm, which keeps the wheat suspended in the water and conveys it towards the whizzer, while the agitation of the water dissolves and washes away the mud balls and surface dirt; stones and metal particles sink into the stoning worm, which conveys them in the opposite direction and delivers them to a stone-collecting hopper (...) 1, record 6, English, - washing%20and%20stoning%20tank
