Improving Efficiency,
Reducing Costs At The Gin
Thomas D. Valco
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article – the second in a three-part series – was written by Thomas D. Valco, Cotton Technology Transfer Coordinator for the Office of Technology Transfer at the Jamie Whitten Delta States Research Center in Stoneville, Miss. In this installment, Valco examines improving efficiency and reducing costs at the gin.
Striving for the highest quality or the most quantity is a dilemma ginners face throughout the season. There is a compromise between the amount of cleaning that can improve fiber value but can cause extra weight – resulting in fewer dollars returned to the producer.
A ginner must operate the gin to optimize its performance for the producer and be mindful of market demands for the customer, which is, of course, the textile mill.
