Automatic Over Flow System

Seed Cotton Distribution & Feeding System

Automatic Over Flow System

Automatic Overflow Hopper

  • Receives and holds excess cotton from conveyor distributor
  • Eliminates overflow pen, telescope, and operator
  • Variable-height hopper fits almost any existing conveyor distributor
  • Receives signal from gin stand to activate feed rollers automatically
  • When hopper is full, contact vane cuts off incoming and activates feed rollers to feed gin through overflow separator
  • Large storage area
  • Large access doors
  • Vertical observation windows
  • Full-length drive guards
  • Trench not required

Conveyor Distributor

  • Designed for performance and ease of manufacture
  • Larger trough cross section
  • High capacity while reducing "roping"
  • 16-inch diameter auger (standard)
  • 24-inch diameter auger for higher capacities (optional)
  • Auger supported by heavyduty bearings and bearing struts
  • Flexible couplings – U-joint coupling is standard, while Sier-Bath and Chain-Type couplings are optional

Fire Valve

  • Fire valve dumps cotton before it reaches the overflow hopper
  • Pneumatically-operated valve electronically controlled from gin console for quick response in an emergency
