| PATENT PENDING The Slover Wire Brush Combing Lint Cleaner was developed in cooperation with Cotton Incorporated. 10-16-2007 - Quote by Darvin Eason with SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA GIN PO BOX 280 ENIGMA GA 31749 229-382-6599 "After Slover installed the wire brush kit in 1 of my lint cleaners, It has run everyday with no problems while all my other lint cleaners have had problems." Lummus 86 with the Slover wire brush conversion compared to standard Lummus 86s. The wire brush keeps the saw clean and the saw never has to be cleaned during the ginning season. The feed bar and feed roller in a standard lint cleaner is set 1/16” off the saw. This 1/16” space limits the capacity of the lint cleaner to the size of wads that can pass through this 1/16” space and the amount of cotton that can pass through the 1/16” space. With the wire brushes installed on a lint cleaner the feed bar and feed roller can be raised to 1/8” or 3/16” off the saw. This increased space allows the lint cleaner to handle much larger wads of cotton and a much larger volume of cotton for a much greater increase in capacity of the lint cleaner. This also stops the loud noise which sounds like a stick of dynamite going off in the lint cleaner every time a wad goes through it. It also reduces the damage to the saw, chains, sprockets and shafts. Seed, sticks and trash are not stuffed into the saw which fills the saw up and reduces it’s effectiveness on the combing and blending action of the lint cleaner. Feed bars have usually been pushed into the saw which damages the bottom of the feed bar and it is very rough because of this. The wire brushes overcome this damage to the feed bar and you do not have to replace the feed bar because of this. The wire brushes control the cotton on the surface of the saw and comb through the cotton on the saw. The cotton looks whiter and brighter and has a more combed and smoother appearance. The cotton is much better blended and there are almost no light spots in your grades. Fiber tests run by Cotton Incorporated show that there are more long fibers and fewer short fibers in the sample. The wire brushes comb through the cotton and comb out a lot of the little curly cues the ginning process puts in the sample. The combing process does a lot of what a comb does to your hair, the fibers are more parallel with each other and the sample looks better as your hair looks better. The combing process adheres the cotton together much better than a conventional lint cleaner. The cotton coming down the lint slid into the press does not have the lumps and bumps it like a conventional lint cleaner causes and the bat does not pull apart on the lint slide. Because of this control of the cotton on the saw the recommended saw speed is 1400RPM which increases the centrifugal force on the trash in the cotton and results in better cleaning. You get equal or better grade as tests show by Cotton Incorporated. View the Test Results Here. Complete 3 Brush kits starting at $3000.00 per lint cleaner. |
