====== Electric Dust Washer ======

The Electric Dust Washer is a powered alternative to the old washing step in ore processing. It mainly handles Sifted Ore and Pulverized Ore, turning them into cleaner downstream materials.

===== How to use it =====

  - Connect the machine to a powered [[energy_and_electricity|Energy and Electricity]] network.
  - Insert Sifted Ore or Pulverized Ore into the input.
  - Make sure the output side has room.
  - Collect the washed result from the output slots.

===== Behavior =====

  * Sifted Ore is converted into a random dust, similar to the washing step from the classic ore line.
  * Pulverized Ore is converted into a Pure Ore Cluster.
  * If there is no output space, the machine waits instead of consuming more input.
  * Higher tiers increase throughput, which makes them much better for long ore-processing chains.

===== Module support =====

  * The Electric Dust Washer supports all four [[machine_modules|Machine Modules]]: Speed, Efficiency, Capacity, and Productivity.
  * Because washed outputs can back up unevenly, many players start with Efficiency or mixed Speed builds before going all-in on throughput.

===== Tiers =====

^ Tier ^ Speed ^ Power Usage ^
| Electric Dust Washer (I) | 1x | 6 W |
| Electric Dust Washer (II) | 2x | 10 W |
| Electric Dust Washer (III) | 10x | 30 W |

===== Tips =====

  * This machine fits naturally between panning or crushing steps and later ingot-making machines.
  * Keep some spare output space available because random dust results can fill stacks unevenly.
