ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON IMPROVING THE SEPARATOR AS A COMPONENT OF THE COTTON AIR-ASSISTED TRANSPORTATION DEVICE

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of scientific research conducted on improving the separator, which is the main element of the air-drying device for cotton ginning. It is known that the separator is used to separate the cotton seeds from the air stream. In addition, it has been studied that during the separation of cotton raw materials, as a result of hitting the upper shell, high forces are exerted during separation from the mesh surfaces and during the passage of cotton raw materials through the vacuum valve , which in turn causes damage to the seeds and fibers. The scientific research shows the need to improve the design of the main elements of air-transporting devices in order to avoid damage to the seeded cotton and its products in order to obtain high-quality fibers.
