Cotton Ginning

Cotton ginning separates cotton seed from cotton fibres, which is then pressed into bales and sold to the textiles industry. The cotton gin is short for cotton engine, which was first released in 1793 in the USA and was considered a milestone in textile history.

These days, most cotton gins consists of a roller carrying a set of circular saws. The rollers rotate and cause the seeds to be trapped and removed by the saws. Cotton bales are often pressed into large, truck-like sizes for transportation to textile manufacturing plants around the world.

Cotton ginning is a global industry that has a strong place on the Australian market. In previous years, Australia has produced record numbers of cotton for textile manufacturing, and Australian cotton also has a positive reputation on the world market.

There are many educational courses available about support procedures for cotton ginning such as production, maintenance and management. There are also cotton gin machinery and support equipment available to suit both small and large operations relating to cotton.
