Higher Capacity Gin Line Reduces Costs

A gin line can be defined to include a saw-type gin stand along with its accompanying extractor feeder, followed by an air jet lint cleaner, and finally one or two stages of saw-type lint cleaning.  Each machine in the gin line must be able to handle the desired capacity in order to fully realize the reduced operating costs associated with higher ginning rates.  If each gin line has a great enough capacity, the number of gin lines required in any one contemporary volume gin plant can be reduced.
