Investigation of Methods to Improve the Efficiency of an Experimental Cotton Gin
Abstract
Lint cotton removed by an experimental ginning process was evaluated to determine if varying nip roll pressures affected removal rates and fiber quality. An experiment was also performed to determine if air deflectors used to re-orient the seed cotton affected ginning performance. Tests showed that increasing nip roll pressure increases lint removal rates and did not affect the quality of the fiber. The installation of the air deflectors did not affect lint removal rates or fiber quality.
