ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cleaning cotton is disclosed wherein an air stream bearing cotton is introduced into an inlet chamber having side-by-side outlet ducts covered with a screen that collects cotton yet lets trash pass therethrough. The air stream is alternately diverted from one outlet duct to the other so that while cotton is accumulating on the screen in front of one duct, it is being removed from the other. The cotton, as it is removed from the screen, falls onto an inclined shaker screen which vibrates additional dirt from the cotton before it is discharged from the apparatus.
