SCIENTIFIC SUBSTANTIATION OF PARAMETERS OF THE PROCESS OF COTTON FIBER REMOVAL FROM SAW TEETH
Abstract
This paper scrutinizes the process of extracting or separating fiber from seed, which is viewed as one of the milestones in cotton-ginning plants, reviews a series of implemented experiments, presents results, and offers solutions. Increasing demand for cotton produce across the globe leads to large-scale research work to improve the technique and technology of primary cotton processing and to establish their scientific basis in major cotton-growing economies. In this regard, it is becoming important, among other things, to develop mathematical models of processes, boost the productivity of cotton processing machines by means of optimization methods, create efficient working bodies, preserve natural quality indicators of the cotton fiber obtained through improved operational characteristics of machines, and reduce production costs. At the same time, the issues of the development of resource efficient designs of working bodies that won’t negatively affect the quality of products and the justification of the parameters of the sewing machine seem relevant for all cotton-growing economies.
