Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: Major changes in the pattern of the cottonseed processing industry that began emerging shortly after World War II have continued. The annual crush is being handled by fewer mills but by mills of larger volume. Hydraulic and slow-speed, screw-press operations continue giving way to the more efficient solvent and modern high-speed screw-press processes. Other important but less apparent changes are associated with modernization of plant layouts and higher efficiencies in plant operations. Labor is one of the most important items of cost in processing cottonseed. Since wage rates continue to move upward, this study was initiated to determine and evaluate the operating practices and labor-saving machinery in use at cottonseed oil mills.
