Roller Ginning Aims To Preserve Quality
While U.S. cotton producers work to meet the more stringent fiber requirements requested by their overseas textile mill customers, Cotton Incorporated is conducting research into what it would take at the gin point to preserve those qualities once that fiber is harvested.
"While there may be several ways to improve your crop's quality before harvest, once your module is covered and hauled to the gin, quality preservation is up to your ginner," says Dr. Ed Barnes, Director, Agricultural Re-search at Cotton Incorporated.
Thanks to funding from Cotton Incorporated, researchers at the Southwestern Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory in Mesilla Park, N.M., have taken the "rotary-knife" roller gin they created back in the 1960s and turned it into what some think could be a game changer – a high-speed roller gin (HSRG).
