Abstract
A row unit for a cotton stripper includes a unit auger housing with extruded slots punched with a small rim or periphery. The slots are configured such that adjacent row slot centerlines are aligned to give the housing added strength while still providing good foreign material elimination through the slots. The extruded slots eliminate sharp edges and allow trash to easily exit. The extruded slots also provide a smoother surface for conveying the cotton material along the auger housing.
