Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Gin-loss cotton is a byproduct of the ginning process, and its utilization has received increased attention in recent years. Lint cleaners, used in all modern gins, are the main source of gin-loss cotton. Gin stand moting systems are another source of this material in the gin plant. In 1964 the U.S. Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory at Stoneville, Miss., and the Economic Research Service began a cooperative study to develop and evaluate a machine that would reclaim and clean gin-loss cotton. Major objectives of the study were: 1, Design a machine that would efficiently reclaim and clean usable or spinnable fibers of gin-loss cotton; 2, evaluate the machine in terms of its ability to separate fiber from trash; 3, determine fiber quality of reclaimed lint; 4, test the possibility of blending reclaimed gin-loss fibers with lint ginned from the same original bale; 5, evaluate the spinning performance of reclaimed gin-loss fiber and of blended lint; and 6, evaluate the economic aspects of reclaiming gin-loss cotton.
