Purpose of developments in ginning technology

To obtain maximum length of fibre on Seed without breakage.

To preserve inherent qualities of fibre.

To obtain undamaged clean seed.

To obtain lint free of Trash and contaminants.

Lowest cost per unit of Ginning.

Automization of Cotton Feeding Process:The manual feeding of seed cotton into the Double Roller

Ginning Machines were replaced by well designed suitablecapacity, electrical power efficient pneumatic suctionsystems to pull the cotton from length upto 750 feet withmultiple points. This has resulted in reduction of asubstantial number of manpower and dependentinefficiencies due to erratic working / non-availability ofmanpower. Moreover, regular supply of seed cotton hasresulted in uniform and sufficient feeding to Double RollerGins thereby increasing productivity.

.

Online Precleaning: Single or multi stage inclined as well as horizontal pre-cleaners were

designed and put to use online without any involvement of manpower depending upon cleaning

requirement for hand picked or machine picked seed cotton, which has helped to reduce the trash

contents and Double Roller Gin Machine maintenance requirements

Automatic Individual Gin Feeding Systems:

Sensor based individual Gin feeding auto regulators and OverheadDistribution Conveyors over a series of Double Roller Gins in one row andparallel rows has eliminated complete requirement of manpower for feedingeach gin and ensured continuous and controlled feeding as per requirement ofgin which has helped higher production and reduction of manpowerrequirement greatly.

Use of Improved Auto Feeder / Lattice Feeder on Double Roller Gin:

Earlier each gin was required to be continuously fed and cotton was to be stirred to avoid chocking of beater area.Now improved Auto Feeder / Lattice Feeder provides a reservoir for about 10 minutes feeding to each gin and level sensors signals refeeding as soon as cotton level in the feeder goes below minimum level hence continuous feeding of cotton is ensured while the rotating lattice spikes removes xcess material as well as stirs the cotton in the beater area, thus manual involvement is fully eliminated.

Improved Higher Capacity Double Roller Gins: Earlier Double Roller Gins used to be 40” width which have beenncreased gradually to 54” width without any change in electrical powerrequirement of 5 HP (3.7 KW) per double roller gin and many changeswere made in eccentricity of the beater to improve the setting parametersto suit various varieties of cotton.

Automatic Lint Suction System :A well designed Lint collection chutes, Lint Collection Boxes andincremental lint suction ducting has automized lint collection up tolint cleaner. This has eliminated total requirement of manpower forlint collection from each Gin and its carrying up to Lint Cleaner.

Fibre Friendly Lint Cleaners: Use of fibre friendly Lint Cleaner with improved Grid and Spikesystems has helped to remove trash from lint without damaging thefibre.

Use of Scanners for Contamination Removal: Camera and sensor based contamination removal systems have beenintroduced after the lint cleaner to remove the colour contaminants,which take out all coloured contaminants thereby providing thecontamination free cotton to spinning industry.

Use of Humidification Systems :Modified Humidification systems to suit Double Roller Ginned lint comingout in blanket form have been incorporated in the lint feeding slide or lintfeeding belts which can add moisture in controlled manner therebyproviding all the benefits of humidification before baling. This has beenwell accepted by the ginning factories based on Double Roller GinningTechnology.
