30-INCH SPECIAL CYLINDER.
This 30-inch Cylinder is specially designed for use in Self-Feeding Openers where these machines are arranged for trunk connection or combined with Breaker Lappers.
The large diameter makes it possible to use more grid bars than with the blade beaters. The main points considered in the design of this 30-inch cylinder were, more thorough opening of the cotton, greater production without injury to the staple, and better cleaning.
These Cylinders are made from steel boiler plates, and the steel fingers are fastened on by rivets. These fingers are so arranged that in one revolution they strike all points along the entire width of the feed rolls. In case of accident to fingers, caused by some hard substance getting into the machine, the damaged fingers can be easily replaced.
We have adopted the 30-inch Special Cylinder, believing it to be preferable to those of larger diameter.
