ICAR-CIRCOT Portable Laboratory Model Gin
The quality of cotton samples can only be assessed after ginning i.e. separation of fibres from cottonseed. Cotton is ginned in India on commercial size Double Roller (DR) and Saw Gins, which were not feasible for ginning of small cotton samples required for assessing fibre quality attributes. ICAR-CIRCOT Portable Ginning Machines provides the solution for quick ginning of small quantity of cotton samples to assess the fibre quality for the benefit of Cotton traders, graders, ginners and researchers. It helps farmers to obtain seed for sowing.
