Creation of improved UXK equipment for cleaning cotton from large impurities

This article establishes a number of requirements for cotton fiber processing enterprises to improve production efficiency and rational use of resources and maintain high rates of natural quality of cotton fiber during processing. In addition, as a result of the research, it was found that changing the impact pressure of the scraper brush, creating a new shape of the scraper device, changing the relative position of the grate and the scraper brush, placing an additional scraper device after the scraper brush, so as not to be part of the dirty mixture that separates the piece of cotton, were found some positive results. The proposed design of the cotton cleaning section of the UXK purifier, due to the above features, makes it possible to increase the cleaning effect compared to the existing purifier, since in the proposed version, the process of cleaning cotton from large impurities is carried out twice in each section of the USC, which cleans cotton from large impurities. The proposed technical solution was taken as a basis and a plan was developed for preparing its structural diagrams and working drawings, manufacturing a laboratory stand for the cleaning section, conducting laboratory experiments with it, substantiating the main parameters of the working bodies according to the proposed scheme, and introducing the proposal into production.
