Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Improved Moting System for Cotton Gins The limits to which cotton may be cleaned at the gin with existing types of equipment have been established by laboratory tests. These tests also showed that the removal of additional foreign matter is desirableon the trash-ier cottons to obtain maximum potential grade benefits. Since exceeding the established limits Of seed cotton cleaning equipment in the gin usually results in fiber damage, with only slight grade improvement but with excessive outlays of capital by the ginner, it was deemed advisable to make an effort to improve the. Effectiveness Of the various machines to obtain more cleaning with out causing fiberdamage? Part Of the foreign matter that enters the roll box Of the gin stand with the cotton is mixed with the fibers during the ginning process and is carried by the saw teeth with the small groups Of fibers through the gin ribs for doffing. At no place in the ginning system are the fibers more thinly distributed or held more firmly in a position for cleaning than on the saws during this stage in the ginning process. Existing moting systems did not take full advantage Of the natural forces acting on the small tufts Of fiber to remove fine particles Of foreign matter and immature seed and motes. It was in an effort to utilize these fo1ces that improvements in the moting system were undertaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
