Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the influence of linear dimensions, lint content, and moisture of technical cotton seeds on the efficiency of hulling and subsequent separation processes. It was established that the optimal kernel moisture content is 8.5–9.5% for seeds of grades I–III and 9.5–10.5% for grade IV, which ensures minimal oil losses with the hulls. It was shown that when the lint content of seeds is below 8%, hulling equipment operates at 100% of its rated capacity, whereas
