Gin machinery-its effect on cotton quality

The ginning processes significantly affect fibre length, uniformity and the content of seed-coat fragments, trash, short fibres and neps. A ginner must have two fold objective, to produce lint of high quality that satisfies the growers market and to gin the cotton with minimum reduction in fibre spinning quality so as to meet the demands of its ultimate users, the spinners and its consumers. Quatity preservation during ginning is of utmost importance thereby requires the proper selection and operation of each gin machine. The given paper discusses the effects of ginning machineries on cotton quality and methods to minimize fibre damage.
