Cotton stripper


Cotton stripper

Rather than leaving the boll on the plant (see Boll) and picking the cotton fiber after the boll fully opened, cotton stripping pulls the bolls, both opened and unopened, from the cotton stalks. The cotton is then separated from the Boll (seedpod) during the ginning operation (see gin). The implement for doing the stripping is called a cotton stripper. Some were basically sleds (see Cotton sled), but others were wheeled contrivances that were the forerunners of cotton-picking machines.

Cotton Stripper


Cotton Stripper

 

a machine for harvesting bollies. It is used after the cotton has been harvested from opened bolls by a standard cotton harvester. The cotton is separated from the bollies by a cotton gin. Industrial production of cotton strippers in the USSR began in 1955. They were formerly manufactured on farms or by enterprises of local industry.

The working parts of a cotton stripper—paired, slanted rotating grooved rollers—tear the bollies from the cotton plants, which pass between the rollers. The cotton heap, combed by the rollers, is moved by a screw conveyor (auger) and a vertical slat conveyor to the receiving chamber of the concentrator, which consists of a hulling drum and separator, with three cutting drums and cleaning brushes, and a removable brush cylinder. The waste products fall to the ground along a slanted board. After cleaning or hulling (depending on the setting of the cotton stripper), the concentrated heap is fed into a bin by an auger and air current from a ventilator. When the machine is not set to concentrate and hull, the heap goes directly to the bin. The productivity of the SKO-4 machine is up to 1.5 hectares per hour (ha/hr); that of the SKO-2, up to 0.9 ha/hr. The operating widths are 2.4 and 1.8 m, respectively. The working parts of a cotton stripper are driven by a power takeoff shaft from a tractor engine.
