Abstract
Seed cotton is cleaned in a cotton gin by wiping it over grid bars having a large gap between them. In this manner more cotton per hour may be cleaned. Excessive seed cotton falling through the grid bars with the trash is reclaimed by saw cylinder reclaimers. The cotton with the least amount of trash has the trash from a preliminary reclaimer going to the saw cylinder receiving cotton with more trash. The seed cotton which has been reclaimed may be further cleaned by wiping it across a grid bar and thereafter reclaiming any cotton which might go through the grid bars of the reclamation wiper cleaner. By-passes are provided to by-pass the cleaner cotton that passes through grid bars into the main stream of cleaned cotton. Also, the cotton which is first reclaimed can be passed into the stream of clean cotton without further cleaning. Trash which settles from air after passing a separation screen is collected on trap doors and dumped into the cleaner to be cleaned by the wiper-type cleaners and disposed of with the trash from the wiper-type cleaners.
