ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing trash from seed cotton. The comingled seed cotton/trash are conveyed by air velocity into the housing of the apparatus wherein they are made to follow the outer curve of the top panel until arrested by a spiked rotating beater cylinder having a first grid section disposed thereabout for expelling the rushing air and the entrained minute pieces of trash. As the beater directs the remaining portion of cotton/trash toward a rotating primary saw drum, the larger pieces of trash gravitate into a bypass hopper from which certain structure reclaims the seed cotton which may be comingled therewith. The reclaimed seed cotton is redirected onto the primary saw drum which also engages and holds the seed cotton being thrown thereon by the beater cylinder. A portion of the seed cotton impaled upon the primary saw drum has considerable intermediate size pieces of trash comingled therewith. These pieces of trash are caused to engage sequentially a plurality of stripper grid bars as the primary saw drum rotates. This engagement is effective to strip or separate the intermediate size pieces of trash from the seed cotton. However, residual trash particles too small to be removed by the stripper grid bars pass on to the air washing structure where they are exposed to a high velocity blast of air whereby the seed cotton is air washed. This air blast picks up the residual trash and entrains it with the main air stream which introduces the comingled seed cotton/trash into the apparatus, i.e., ultimately being expelled through the first grid section. The clean seed cotton is doffed from the primary saw drum and is caused to pass on to certain structure for further processing, e.g., a cotton gin which removes the seeds from the seed cotton.
