Unwrapping the Future of Cotton Ginning

The Stover Unwrapper GIS (Gin Improvement System) provides a cost effective and efficient way to process the new John Deere 7760 round seed cotton modules. Modules arrive at the gin in round form wrapped in polyethylene. In order for the gin to process the seed cotton modules into lint bales, the round modules must have the plastic wrap removed. The Stover GIS processes the round modules as they pass down the floor end to end to provide a constant uninterrupted feed-rate to the gin. The Stover GIS utilizes RFID technology to detect a tag that is located in the “no cut” zone and rotates the module 180 degrees before cutting to eliminate plastic contamination. The Stover GIS operates on a gantry over the existing feeder floor.
