A device or apparatus that uses flowing liquid or air to separate and classify materials by size or density.
From 'elutriate' combined with the agent suffix '-or,' creating an instrument noun following patterns like 'centrifuge' or 'separator.'
An elutriator is a simple but brilliant device—it essentially lets physics do the sorting work as materials naturally separate based on how they respond to flowing liquid.
