| Abstract/Description: | Single locking cotton feeder was designed and fabricated with an aim to maintain constant feeding rate of individual locules at the ginning point of Double Roller (DR) gin. It comprises of a pair of feed roller, spiked cylinders, grid, feeder hopper and distributor chute. Spiked cylinder has spikes, its tips were spaced closer to the feed rollers than the thickness of a lock of cotton. The spiked cylinder travel at a greater linear speed than the feed rollers, whereby cotton bolls held between the feed rollers are struck by the spikes of spiked cylinder, thus ensuring single locking of cotton. The effect of single locking of cotton on ginning efficiency of DR gin was studied. Extent of unlocking was determined by measuring the change in bulk density of cotton before and after passing through the feeder which decreased with increase in spike cylinder speed. DR gin output was found to increase by 15-20% with use of single locking feeder as compared to conventional feeding system comprising of auto-feeder and micro-feeder. Cotton quality was also found to improve in terms of colour grade. Single locking feeder observed to be highly useful for Indian cotton ginneries. |
