ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to improve the qualitative and
quantitative indicators of fiber, lint and seeds by improving the technology of
preparing cotton seeds for processing. The state of the seeds after the gin was
studied and their division into fractions according to the degree of pubescence
was recommended, the probabilities of the seeds emerging from the gin with
varying degrees of pubescence were investigated, the geometric sizes and shapes
of cotton seeds were studied. It has been established that when seeds come out
of gin, they have different pubescence. The conditional movement of seeds
without separation from the surface has been determined; found a formula
describing the movement of seeds without detaching from the surface; the movement
of seeds in a micro-flight is determined; the sizes of the cells of the mesh
surface were determined as a function of d_c, α and on the speed of seed movement. The aim of the research work
is to increase the yield of cotton fiber by improving the processing technology
of germinated seeds, to improve the quality indicators of seeds and lint. In
order to achieve this goal, a mesh surface device was created to sort the seeds
into fractions. Sorting technology was developed on this device and operating
modes were determined. In addition, the law of surface distribution of the
fractions separated from the cotton stream moving along the surface of the net
was determined, and based on the results of practical and theoretical research,
a mode of sorting of cotton seeds was developed.
