Water Margin farming to become powerful

When they had an idea, they quickly made samples, and after testing the cotton gin several times, Sun Xin and the others found that the undried cotton had too much moisture and a lot of impurities. Even if the cotton is hand-picked, you want a leaf It takes a lot of effort to pick a cotton without any stalks. Presumably there is no need to spend so much energy in normal work.

Therefore, Sun Xin and the others believe that the cotton produced by large-scale industries must have a cleaning process and a drying process at the front end.

The actual operation found that the dried cotton can still maintain softness and elasticity, and the impurities in the cotton will generally become dry and hard after the moisture drops to a certain level. As long as the distance between the rollers of the cotton gin is adjusted, the cotton can be effectively removed. Impurities are removed from the cotton.

So the cotton gin was modified, and a drying step was added at the front end of the cotton ginning process.

The cotton produced in the end fully meets the textile requirements after inspection. Although there are still some impurities, they can be used for spinning after the amount drops to a certain level. Even if it is to be combed cotton, the worst thing is to go through the machine again.

The entire production process runs through a circle, and the design of the corresponding dryer and cotton gin comes out naturally.

Sun Xin discovered that the final thing produced by the cotton gin is a combination machine with toothed brushes and feeding and unloading wheels, which is [-]% of what was drawn in the picture of the Whitney cotton gin in his vague impression. resemblance.

The principles and shapes of the things he designed are similar to those of industrial design products that have been popular for hundreds of years in later generations, and there were no problems in several experiments. Sun Xin naturally had more confidence in his mind, so he decided to launch a large-scale operation. Take the drawings and go to the preset cotton ginning factory in Qingzhou to build a dozen of them.

If the cotton ginning industry in Qingzhou can be done well, the industrial manufacturing industry in this place must also develop to a certain extent, otherwise the speed of providing cotton gins will not be enough.

At this time, everyone was looking forward to the cotton gin in front of them, and they were all curious about what effect this thing could produce.

Under the guidance of the operator, Sun Cai began to feed cotton into the cotton press. At the beginning, he just slowly added cotton into it.

Sun Cai has gotten used to the slow cotton ginning production in the past, and even felt that the cotton he sent was a bit too much. With the experience of ginning cotton, such a trough of cotton can't be finished in a day.

And Sun Cai thought that he could just wait with his hands down after he continued feeding, and it would be no problem to slowly feed the cotton after it was slowly rolled.

The machine started to run, creaking, and then Sun Cai's eyes gradually widened.

With the strong worker cranking the crank, he watched the full trough of cotton run into the machine at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the workers at the outlet are also busy.

The technician told him just now that when he saw the cotton piled up to the discharge line, he had to quickly pack the cotton, otherwise the material would be blocked.

But he never expected this thing to come so fast. The worker who had never been on the production line was stunned to see the cotton pouring out of the outlet as if flooded, and began to put cotton into the bag desperately by himself.

But he is not very familiar with this process. After he opened the bag and filled it twice, the mouth of the bag was full. When he turned around to pick up the bag, the cotton came up again. In a blink of an eye, the contents of the hopper exceeded the scale that the technician warned him just now. Wire.

The more nervous his hands and feet became, the more flustered he became. After a while, the new worker was sweating profusely.And not at all busy.

The technician couldn't bear to look down, and hurried to the back of the machine to follow him to load the material.

The technician's speed was much faster, and the two of them worked together to finally finish the job.

But Sun Cai was stunned to see the cotton going in and out of the machine at a high speed, and half a bag of cotton seeds came out of the miscellaneous opening in a short while.

Sun Cai was excited and surprised. At this moment, he finally understood why the technician had urged him to cooperate with the subsequent process in advance.

The speed of this thing is too fast, and the time he was in a daze had let the machine idle for a while, but the person who loaded the cotton behind was sweating profusely, if he poured cotton into it desperately Say hello to the back, and the person behind may not be too busy.

Seeing that half a bag of cottonseeds came out in the blink of an eye, Sun Cai took a deep breath. The efficiency of this thing is simply terrifying!

In such a short period of time, I am afraid that four or five catties of cotton have been produced. If the four or five catties of cotton were used at the speed of their manual labor in the past, it would take at least half a day to be dizzy and dizzy. That is, between breaths.

Even Sun Cai found out that this thing was almost out of breath when he poured the material into it, and if he was not a skilled worker, he couldn't even be busy delivering cotton here.

Sun Cai was dumbfounded, while the other supervisory committee officials and some landlords present were also wide-eyed.

The supervisory committee is promoting cotton planting recently. Most of the people present today have grown cotton, and even a small amount of them have handled some cotton ginning processes. They know how labor-intensive this cotton ginning is.

When they came to this cotton ginning factory, they were also quite curious about the production of the supervisory committee, but the best imagination these people had before this cotton press was that it was five or six times faster than manual pressing, but now they saw it directly. I was stunned.

As far as the speed at which the cotton is exhaled, this is five or six times, at least dozens of times the speed difference!
Even Sun Cai and the others were not familiar with it yet, the person shaking the machine was a bit lazy after shaking it for a while, and the speed of the machine was much slower than at the beginning.

Then if it is shaken at the original speed, how much will the efficiency of this cotton press be improved compared to manual labor?

"One hundred times? At least it's a hundred times faster than ordinary manpower?"

There is a supervisory committee under the rule who is famous for cotton farming, but he shook his head repeatedly when he heard others say this. He is more familiar with the work of cotton ginning than everyone else. Even more shocked.

He said: "One hundred times is for those skilled workers. As far as the speed of cotton produced by this machine is now, if it is an ordinary worker, I am afraid that it will not be able to beat 150 times!"

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.

"This, this... is too fast..."

"God, am I dreaming with my eyes blinking?"

If I hadn't seen this situation with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it, but the next moment everyone looked at Sun Xin and Tang Long.

The two were discussing something in a low voice at this time, and those who could stand could hear the two seem to be saying that there are still some minor problems in the operation of the cotton gin, whether it is possible to improve the machine by changing the design of some small places. operating efficiency.
