ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for removing dust and trash from tufts of opened cotton fiber stock includes entrance and exit ducts for airborne transport of the tufts to and from a housing having passages for the tufts therethrough, a screen disposed therein, a pair of counterrotating rollers with projecting pins for regulating passage of the tufts to the screen, a suction trough for causing high velocity impingements of the tufts against the screen for shaking cotton dust from the tufts and through the screen thereby forming a mat of tufts on the screen and passing air at a high velocity through the screen for removing cotton dust from the mat, and a moving paddle wheel for removal of the tufts from the screen disruptively of the mat and propelling the tufts in a tumbling floccular state farther through the passages toward the exit duct. The housing contains a plenum with a porous impact and filtration panel for receiving tufts from the entrance duct against the panel and directing the tufts toward the screen. A plurality of mats may be successively formed, removed, and propelled toward the exit for passing high velocity air through the tufts in a generally corresponding plurality of directions relative to each tuft to better suck dust therefrom.
