Abstract
Analysis of the studies conducted by domestic and foreign academic researchers to improve the lint separation process shows that the existing lint separation machines have high energy consumption and low process efficiency. The main reason for these shortcomings is the high coefficient of friction of the working surfaces of the lint separation machines that come into contact with the raw materials, and the rapid corrosion of the working surfaces is the cause of these problems. Especially in the autumn and spring months with high air humidity, the working surfaces are quickly corroded, causing a sharp increase in the coefficient of friction between the surface and the seed mass. This study focuses on the effect of the coefficient of friction on the parameters of the lint separation process and its reduction.
