Seed cotton drying effects

Information in Table II describes the performance characteristics of typical seed cotton drying systems and Illustrates some of the effects of drying fibers to a level below the optimum. Generally, these data show that fibers ginned at moisture contents below 6 percent were shorter and produced lower yarn break factors than fibers ginned at moisture contents above 6%. Obviously, the amount of energy required for drying...
