Abstract: Report Summary: To improve cotton ginning research capabilities, a small-scale ginning system was designed, constructed, installed in an environmentally controlled building, and evaluated. In experiments comparing the small-scale system (capacity 8.4 lb/min) with a full-size ginning system (84.5 lb/min), essentially no significant differences at the 1 % probability level were found by the student's "t" test for paired comparisons. The small-scale system, which can be arranged to provide many processing combinations and is economical to operate, should fill a long-felt need in ginning research.
