Beginning with the feeding systems, cotton enters the ginning system by one of three methods; a manually operated suction pipe, a hydraulic "Suction Command" suction system, or the module feeding system. The suction systems deliver the seed cotton to the gin plant. The module feeder breaks up and automatically feeds seed cotton into the gin plant.

When the suction systems are used, the cotton is moved by air to Continental Eagle's Big "J" automatic feed control. The Big "J" is optional with the module feeder. The Big "J" is used to receive, open and feed stripper harvested, machine picked, and hand picked cotton into the hot airline at its discharge.                                

High Velocity hot air carries seed cotton through the Vertical Flow first stage drying system where a large portion of moisture is removed, opening seed cotton for first stage pre-cleaning - the removal of bulky trash, such as leaves, stems, and dirt. The first stage pre-cleaning most commonly consists of an inclined cleaner which feeds the seed cotton into a Stripper cleaner for stripper harvested seed cotton or directly to the Super III....for machine picked seed cotton when the Stripper cleaner is not required. Following the Super III, seed cotton discharges into another hot airline and passes to the second stage drying system for more moisture removal before a second stage pre-cleaning. This second stage commonly involves the use of a Continental Eagle Inclined Cleaner and Impact Cleaner, which removes the finer trash.

Clean, dry seed cotton is discharged into a conveyor which distributes it to the Golden Eagle Extractor-Feeder, which removes the finest trash and single locks seed cotton before entering the Golden Eagle 161 Saw Gin where the lint is removed from the seed.

Seed and trash are discharged into separate conveyors below the floor. Lint is moved by air from the gin to the Centrifugal Lint Cleaner where trash is removed by centrifugal force. Lint is then moved by air to.... Single or Tandem 24-D Lint Cleaners for final cleaning. Cleaned lint is pneumatically conveyed through the lint flue, to the battery condenser. The condenser forms the lint into a continuous batt conveyed down a lint slide to a press. From here, it is compressed and baled automatically into true universal density bales  in one of Continental Eagle's U D Presses, the model 9300 press.

Our exclusive Jenglo bale tying system, Continental's unique bale handling, bagging and conveying system complete the process, putting on the final touch of high speed automation for super high capacity ginning.

This is only a basic model of a total ginning system; variations may be designed to fit any need, regardless of capacity or volume.

The PIMA LONG STAPLE LINT CLEANING SYSTEM

The Condenser forms the freshly ginned lint into an even batt, feeding into Continental Eagle’s 96 " Incline Cleaners. Spiked cylinders and grid bars gently and effectively remove fine pepper trash and other minute particles, producing excellent cleaning - without fiber damage. Any remaining stubborn heavy particles are removed in the third stage by the Continental Eagle CENTRIFUGAL LINT CLEANER.
