Abstract
The productivity of fiber cleaners is a key factor influencing the efficiency and economic performance of cotton ginning enterprises. Insufficient cleaner capacity leads to processing bottlenecks, increased energy consumption, and reduced fiber quality. This paper examines technological and operational approaches to increasing the productivity of fiber cleaners used in cotton gins. The study focuses on optimizing machine design, improving operating parameters, and enhancing process integration within the ginning line. The results demonstrate that the proposed measures significantly increase fiber cleaner productivity while maintaining lint quality and reducing operational costs.
