Improving Efficiency,
Reducing Costs At The Gin
Thomas D. Valco
Good Maintenance Needed
A good maintenance program minimizes downtime, reduces fiber losses and can improve quality. Gin stands should be kept within the manufacturers' recommended specifications; gin saws should be replaced on a timely basis and doffing systems should be kept in good condition to avoid backlash and prep problems.
Worn or poorly adjusted lint cleaner grid bars can double lint losses, reducing the returns to the producer. Lint cleaners do a good job of removing trash but are detrimental to fiber length. Anytime a ginner can use seed cotton cleaners to remove trash instead of lint cleaners, the better. Also, lint cleaners can discard a lot of staple fiber along with the trash.
In summary, evaluate both the quantity and quality of your gin's output to make sure you are doing the most for your customer. Do only the drying and cleaning that are in the producer's best interest and keep updated on the market needs and aim for those targets.
