What does VANNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A machine for separating ore by washing it over a moving, slightly tilted belt.
In old mining practice crushed rock was fed onto a vibrating, sloping belt while water carried the light waste away and the heavier metal-bearing grains stayed behind. The device took its name from vanning, the process of testing ore with a shovel. A vanner could also simply be a person who drives or owns a van, though this sense is less common.
