An improved seed cleaner utilizes a rock trap sequentially followed by an aspiration hood which performs preliminary cleaning before passing seed to a rotary seed cleaner mounted over a shaker to yield a cottonseed cleaning system has enhanced the removal of loose lint from the seed before the seed is passed over any shaker screens to prevent clogging of the shaker screens by the loose lint.

Seed cleaner

A delinter apparatus for seed cotton includes a jack screw displacement system for a gratefall which opens the apparatus for removal of a saw cylinder while urging a plurality of belt tensioning idlers into a relaxed position such that the drive belt for the saw cylinder can be removed in a simplified and more efficient manner. The apparatus also has improved flow characteristics due to improvements in the lint feeder design as well as the transition designs from the feeder to the float chamber and saw interface.
