Abstract
A cotton condenser for receiving air borne lint cotton or similar material from an air stream and forming a bat therefrom on a screen drum for delivery to a packaging press, wherein the condenser housing forms a chamber outwardly surrounding the screen drum maintained at subatmospheric pressure for receiving the air borne lint where the lint forms the bat on the screen. A doffing roller system withdraws the cotton bat from the screen and passes it to a lint slide and packaging press through a further set of doffing rollers which act as a seal against the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of the condenser where the bat exits from the condenser. Means are provided to monitor the moisture level of the cotton bat being delivered by the condenser and activate a humidifying system to supply air of controlled humidity to the condenser chamber and through the bat on the screen to raise the lint moisture to a desired level.
