Abstract

Cost of processing of lint cotton is very high. In order to optimize this, designing a mechanical press for compressing lint cotton does decentralization of ginnery. This design is carried out after performing extensive experiments on waste cotton pressing machine. During this experimentation it is required to measure the various variables involved in the process. The work presented in this paper reports the experiments carried out and the method used to measure force required for compressing cotton using mechanical press.
