How Cotton Is Ginned       

 
           How seeds are removed 
               from the cotton fiber
 
  1. Cotton is fed into the machine
  2. As the handle is turned, the cylinder and brushes revolve.
  3. Wire teeth catch the cotton fibers and pull them through narrow slots
  4. The seeds are too large to pass through the slots.  They fall to the bottom of the gin.
  5. Rotating brushes pull cleaned cotton fiber from the wire teeth and sweep them out of the gin.
 
It's easy to learn to spin cotton
everything you need to get started!
