Experimental Dual-Saw Lint Cleaner
1985
ABSTRACT EXPERIMENTS were conducted to evaluate the performance of a dual-saw lint cleaner equipped with an airblast lint transfer nozzle. The airtlast system successfully transferred over 99.6 percent of tie lint from the upper saw to the lower saw at lint feed rates as high as 1380 kg/h/m (927 lb/h/ft). The performance of the dual-saw lint cleaner compared favorably to that of a conventional tandem lint cleaning system. While these two lint cleaning techniques had similar effects on fiber quality measurements and nep content, the dual-saw cleaner outperformed the conventional lint cleaners in the trash removal category. These results demonstrated the technical feasibility of a dual-saw lint cleaner for cotton ginning applications, and indicated that multiple-saw lint cleaners could potentially improve gin-cleaning performance in the future.
