Abstract

The present invention relates to a rib insert, a ginning rib and process for a ginning seed-cotton. The insert and ginning rib have an outer profile so that seed-cotton in contact therewith is urged away from the ginning zone formed between the ginning rib and saw. Advantages of the invention include increasing the rate of lint removal during ginning and increasing the long fiber length compared to conventional ginning.
