The bag is then pulled off the plat-form, mouth downward, so that the sugar falls out and passesthrough an iron grating into a large bin beneath. If the sugarshould happen to be caked or lumpy, it is sent through crush-ers and broken up. As a certain amount of sugar adheres to the inside of thebags, they are washed in large revolving machines and in thisoperation the sugar dissolves in the water (called sweet wa-ter), from which it is extracted later.
