RESEARCH ON THE CAUSES OF DAMAGE TO COTTON BEING TRANSPORTED IN THE AIR STREAM

Аннотация

The process of transportation of raw cotton in ginneries is carried out using a pneumatic transport device. In addition to the process of transporting the pneumatic transport device, cleaning of heavy mixtures and separation of air-transported cotton from the air is also carried out. A piece of cotton enters the working chamber of the CC-15A separator through a horizontal pipeline along with the air, then loses its speed due to volumetric expansion and the raw material is separated from the air. Cotton pieces moving at a certain speed hit the back wall of the separator working chamber, partially damaging the cotton fiber and seeds, and the defects in the fiber content increase.
