Abstract

Cotton in an extractor-feeder is passed through three scrubber cylinders. The first two having grid bars of a regular 1/4 or 5/16 inch spacing and the third having grid bars at about twice the regular, or 1/2 inch spacings. Any locks of seed cotton in the trash from the third scrub cylinder are reclaimed by reclamation saw which also reclaims any cotton slung off by a main saw cylinder. Also dust is removed by a suction connected into the housing.
