Analytical studies of the cotton seed linting process

Abstract

Thearticle presents the history of development of cotton seeds linting technological process, brief analysis of research works carried out to improve linter productivity, theoretical analysis of seeds interaction with sawing cylinder, as well as the results of previously conducted experimental studies. On the basis of the analysis it was concluded that it is necessary to continue research work on increasing productivity of 5LP linter for seeds and getting lint. The direction of the forthcoming work was chosen, which provides for the development of the linter design using the working chamber of the gin, manufacturing of the developed linter and research of the linting process, providing rational conditions of its operation in the effective process of cotton seed linting.
