RESEARCH ON AN IMPROVED COTTON CLEANER UNIT

This article analyzes the results of changes to the working parts of a cotton cleaning
unit from small and large impurities. It is known that the UXK installation uses continuous cleaning
technology, that is, the cotton entering the purifier is cleaned in all its cleaning sections and then
transferred to another process. In these sections, pieces of cotton wool from the separated waste are
regenerated in a separate drum. Existing purifier suppliers use a manually operated mechanical system
to monitor its performance. These factors do not make it possible to control the cleaning process when
the quality indicators of cotton change. When processing cotton, the inability to control the efficiency
of the cotton ginning process and the frequency of ginning does not allow obtaining fiber with the same
quality indicator. This causes technological difficulties when processing cotton fiber in further
processes.
Taking these shortcomings into account, an improved technology for the UXK treatment plant
was developed. In this technology, once the cotton contamination reaches the recommended level of
contamination before ginning, the ginning unit is removed from the ginning unit by a controlled section
into five parts and transferred to the next process. This control technology allows you to change the
cleaning process depending on the initial contamination of the cotton.
