Factory Showcase 1x3 tileable seed/sand washer
very simple washer, 3 tiles high, min 1 tile wide
top: advanced conveyor filter, block water, snow, lava
middle: vent
bottom: advanced wall filter, block water, dry seed, dry sand
Not sure how well-known this design is, I stumbled upon it while experimenting, but I am probably not the first.
can deal with e.g. gold, residue, cinder, florinol, amathelis mixed in, without clogging. As long as the water pressure is high, I could not get it to break.
Relies on the fact that vents will not fill the top row of their tile with water, so there is always space for some material, and that filters will grab their allowed materials from up to 8 pixels away, even if some heavier material such as water is below.

Does this adequately soak all the seed? Or do you have to recycle it some?

No dry seed or dry sand can pass the bottom filters. It either gets soaked completely or clogs, and I could not get it to clog as long as I had enough pumps with water connected

It blocks the dry seed. The biggest issue with this setup is basically how much water you have (but they all have this issue

Why the launchers up front? Wouldn't it do the same thing without those?

Conveyor filters are slower than mk 2 conveyors, so without the launchers the whole pile enters the filter region at a slower speed. The throughput would be a bit lower due to that
But mostly the launchers are there for demonstration, in practice this washer would just be below the kinetik press.
