Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Increased costs of constructing new cotton gins or modifying existing ones to keep them abreast of the rapid technological advances in equipment have made ginners acutely aware of the need to operate efficiently. Ginner groups have requested the development of information on operating costs for various types of gins as a basis for evaluating their relative operating efficiency and indicating potential reductions in costs. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) power costs for specified types of gins and factors affecting these costs, and (2) consumption of fuel for driers and its cost per bale ginned. Data were obtained during the 1960-61 season from 90 all-electric gins located in Arkansas and Missouri. Plants ranged in size from 3/80-saw gin stands to 5/90-saw stands. Data on quantity and cost of electricity used were collected from all gins, and data on quantity and cost of fuel for driers were collected from 49 of these gins
