ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPOSITION OF WASTE GENERATED IN COTTON CLEANING MACHINES AND THE COTTON LOSSES THEREIN

Abstract

This article presents an experimental study on the composition of waste generated during the initial cleaning process of cotton. Industrial trials conducted on the UXK-type cleaning system determined the amount of waste and the proportion of cotton particles within it. The analysis results indicated that a certain amount of fiber is lost during the cleaning process. Based on the data obtained, recommendations for reducing these losses are presented
