Abstract
A method and apparatus for accelerating removal of fully ginned seeds from a seed roll established in the roll box of an operating gin stand, whereby the ginning capacity of the stand is enhanced. The apparatus is characterized by improved ginning ribs interposed between saw blades of reduced spacing and characterized by a vertically oriented tail section for directing ginned seeds downwardly between the blades, and a seed extraction tube adapted to extend axially through a seed roll as it is established, said seed extraction tube being characterized by a plurality of apertures for accepting fully ginned seeds, and a conveyor for axially discharging the fully ginned seeds from the tube.
