Experimental Study of The Power Consumption of The Saw Gin Electric Motor with A Shelling Chamber

Abstract

This article presents the results of an experimental investigation into the power consumption characteristics of a saw gin equipped with a huller roller box. The study focuses on the influence of three primary parameters: the productivity of the saw gin, the vertical distance from the top of the grate to the horizontal axis of the saw cylinder, and the relative position of the comb. Through a series of controlled experiments, the optimal operational settings were determined that minimize electric motor power consumption while ensuring efficient seed separation and reduced fiber loss. The findings highlight specific configurations that promote energy efficiency, maintain raw roller density within an acceptable range, and significantly lower seed waste. These outcomes contribute to the design of more energy-efficient and productive cotton ginning systems.
