Seed cotton discharges into another hot airline and passes to the second stage tower drier to remove additional moisture before a second stage pre-cleaning is begun, which removes the finer trash. The cotton modules are brought in from the storage yard and fed into the ginning system. The seed and trash are discharged into separate conveyors below the floor. The lint is moved by air from the gin to the centrifugal lint cleaner where trash is removed by centrifugal force. The lint is then moved by air to lint cleaners for final cleaning.
Cleaned lint is carried through the lint flue, up to the battery condenser.
This is where the lint is formed into a continuous batt and discharged onto the lint slide. The lint is then compressed and baled automatically into universal density bales weighing 227 kg. Click here for a detailed diagram of the ginning process.
