De-linting Of Cottonseed

Being the largest companies, we are involved in manufacturing, supplying as well as exporting a wide range of De-Linting Of Cottonseed in Palanpur, Gujarat, India. Cottonseed is first cleaned free from the foreign matter such as stones, shale, sticks, iron, earth etc. The foreign matter in the seed can be anywhere between 2-5% depending upon the way Kapas is handled at the fields. It is essential to remove the foreign matter so as to protect the further processing machinery from damage and excessive wear and tear.Seed cleaning is carried out over reciprocating type sieves to separate sticks,shales,belhes,earth etc.The seed is then pneumatically lifted to separate the heavy matter such as stones,iron,etc.The cleaned seeds are then fed into a battery of delinting machines in which tight rolls of seed arepressed over high-speed circular saws.The saws scrape off the lint form the seed and the lint is sucked pneumatically into lint beating and cleaning devices.t beating and cleaning is done to increase the cellulose content of the lint and the product is bagged.Delinting is generally done in two stages,in the first stage a light cut is taken and in the 2nd stage more severe cut is allowed. The fiber length of the first lint is much longer than the second cut lint.Long fiber is preferred for the use in paper and artificial silk industry.
