Pneumatic Transport System of a Cotton Picker

Abstract

A design of pneumatic transport system of domestic cotton-picking machines is described in the paper; the results of experimental studies of raw cotton transport by air flow are analyzed. Calculations, based on these results, were performed to ensure the smooth operation of pneumatic transport of raw cotton with an estimate of cotton-air mixture concentration. At the same time, the main recommendations are aimed at ensuring the least damage to the cottonseeds.
