The
principal function of the cotton gin is to separate lint
from seed, but the gin must also be equipped to remove
foreign matter, moisture, and other contaminants that
significantly reduce the value of the ginned lint. Gins
must produce a quality of lint that brings the grower
maximum value while meeting the demands of the spinner
and consumer. Operating gin machinery in accordance with
the recommended speeds, adjustments, maintenance, and
throughput rates will produce the highest possible fiber
quality. A standardized sequence that includes dryers to
obtain the proper moisture level as well as machines to
remove the foreign matter is recommended for processing
cotton at the gin.
This publication addresses the key ginning issues
concerned with facilities, machinery, cleaning, ginning,
drying, packaging, and waste collection and disposal as
well as ancillary issues concerned with pollution,
management, economics, energy, insurance, safety, cotton
classification, and textile machinery.
