CIRCOT-Bajaj Cotton Pre-cleaner
The trash content is a predominant parameter to decide the grade and bale value of the cotton besides other quality attributes. High trash content deteriorates the colour grade of cotton and also increases the wear and tear of ginning machinery parts. Higher trash content in Indian cotton forced the spinning mills to resort to cotton imports. Thus pre-cleaning of cotton assumes significance to reduce the trash content from the seed cotton so as to improve the ginning performance and lint quality. ICAR-CIRCOT has developed the inclined and horizontal pre-cleaners for cotton.
