Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: In 1964, a cooperative study was made by the U.S. Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory and the Economic Research Service at Stoneville, Miss., to develop a machine that would do an efficient job of reclaiming and cleaning fibrous material ejected from lint cleaners. The experimental machine was 72 percent efficient in fiber reclaiming ability and 84 percent efficient in cleaning ability. One phase of the 1964 study was continuous blending (during ginning) of reclaimed fiber into the original bale from which it was removed. For 5-pound spinning lots, the blending operation had little effect upon spinning quality except for a slight increase in manufacturing waste. To better evaluate effects of reclaimed gin-loss cotton on lint quality and spinning performance, a larger scale study was needed. Therefore, in 1965, a study was initiated to obtain data for a more comprehensive evaluation. This report presents the results of that evaluation.
