EXPERIMENTAL CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEVICE FOR CLEANING COTTON FROM SMALL IMPURITIES

Abstract

In the article, the working scheme and experimental design of the device for cleaning cotton from small impurities have been developed. In this study, the improved device was tested for its efficiency and energy efficiency, and corresponding results were obtained. This study focuses on optimizing the cleaning efficiency of cotton ginning by developing a device that reduces mechanical damage and improves fiber quality. The experimental device includes a continuous slotted mesh surface and a pile drum system, which significantly enhances impurity removal. The article further explores the mechanical phenomena occurring during the cleaning process, such as wire deformation and drum rotation speeds, through real-time analysis with electronic devices like tensometers and oscillographs. The results show that the device achieves a cleaning efficiency increase of 12-14%, contributing to higher fiber quality and economic benefits for cotton processing enterprises.
