Working principle
Action of Porcupine Opener
- Air Current Action
- Regulating Action
- Beating Action
The cotton fibers or Feed materials are given in two pairs of feed rollers. The feed materials next passage in the porcupine cylinder or Beater. The beater speed is 750-800 r.p.m. The impurities such as grass and dry broken leaves are segregated from cotton by the action of a beater and grid bars. Then the impurities fall into the dead air box through the grid bar hole and materials turned into more small tufts.
