Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Following World War II, there has been a modest, yet slowly increasing, adoption of new designs of bale presses by ginners, particularly in the West. These newer types of presses turn out bales that are as dense or denser than the standard density bales compressed at warehouses. By the 1957-58 season, about 2 percent of active gins were operating such presses. That season this small group of gins handled approximately 5 percent of the entire crop, a proportion greater than achieved by the round bale package (now abandoned) at its peak of popularity. Aim of the study reported on in this publication was to evaluate the new gin bale presses for the cotton industry on the basis of costs and problems and practices their use may bring, and to investigate attitudes of manufacturers on density and types of bales.
