Abstract:

To reduce the fiber quality damage caused by machine-harvesting and cleaning processes, the relationship between fiber quality and levels of cleaning were comparatively analyzed with regards to Xinjiang cotton. The optimum number of cleaning processes for machine-harvested cotton was determined based on minimal fiber damage. The results indicated that each cotton cleaner causes fiber damage, and seed cotton cleanings vary greatly in its effect on fiber strength with the strength reduction of 1.0 cN/tex. The declines during the second and third seed cotton cleanings, are greater than those during the first and fourth cleanings. Lint cleanings significantly reduce the fiber length and length uniformity index by 0.8 mm and 1.7%, and significantly increase short fiber index by 2.0%, and the greatest damage takes place during the first lint cleaning (included ginning). Therefore, differentiated selections of seed cotton cleanings should be adopted based on the level of leaf contamination by using 1 or 2 seed cotton cleaners. Lint cleaning should only use one air-type lint cleaner or this could sometimes be omitted.

Key words: machine-harvested cotton, fiber quality, cotton cleaning, fiber damage, cotton in Xinjiang
