Abstract

Since cotton ginning in Uzbekistan is carried out mainly by saw gins, this article proposes a technology for the process of cotton ginning, regeneration, and purification of fibrous waste. The process of regeneration and purification of fibrous waste is an urgent problem for the cotton ginning industry since the composition of fibrous waste contains about 80% of spun fiber. Technology “The process of separating the fiber from seeds” was carried out in two stages: in the first stage of separating the fiber from seeds, a low density of the raw roller of the saw gin took place, while the productivity remained unnamed. After the first stage of separating the fiber from the seeds, the fiber was cleaned in fiber cleaners. The fibrous waste separated in the fiber cleaner was mixed with the seeds after the first stage of separating the fiber from the seeds and fed to the second stage of separating the fiber from the seeds. This paper proposes a technology for the regeneration and purification of fibrous waste, separated during fiber purification. The influence of the length of the seed comb pegs when ginning a mixture of progressed seeds and fibrous waste on gin using the 1DR-119 regenerator on the gin parameters and the quality of the resulting fiber has been studied. A diagram of an experimental technological process is proposed and the results of production tests carried out at “JSC Dalverzin Buttermilk Cleaning” are presented. Experimental dependences of productivity, quality indicators of fiber, and seeds on the length of the splitting of the seed comb were obtained. In this case, the length of the pegs of the seed comb was studied in the aisles from 95 to 125 mm. The results of the experiments showed that with the lengthening of the heads of the seed comb, the residence time of the seeds in the working chamber increases, which entails a slight decrease in productivity and an increase in the share of short fiber in the product, but when the length of the heads of the seed comb is 125 mm, lint prevails in the mass of fibrous products. Having a lower specific gravity compared to fiber, causing a decrease in the seed throughput of the regenerator gin. Analyzing the results of studies of the effect of the length of the pegs on the quality indicators of fiber and seeds after the second stage of ginning, it was revealed that with a decrease in the pubescence of the seeds emerging from the working chamber, their mechanical damage increases, which leads to an increase in the fiber of broken seed and such a hard-to-remove defect as a peel with fiber. Based on the research results obtained during processing on the 1DR-119 regenerator gin of a mixture of ginned seeds with the fibrous waste of fiber cleaners at different lengths of the seed comb splints, the most acceptable length of the seed comb is 105-115 mm, since this produces a standard fiber with a staple mass length of 30.1 – 29.9 mm, meeting the standards.
