Abstract
A linear belt flight has an upper high friction surface to which seed cotton adheres for conveyance to a transverse fixedly positioned knife adjacently above the belt flight; the cotton fibers move beneath the knife to separate the fibers from the seed which move onto the upper surface of the knife. A rotary knife engages the separated seed on the upper surface of the fixedly positioned knife and propels the seed rearwardly onto an auger conveyor for removal of the seed while air doffing means removes the fiber from the upper surface of the linear belt flight downstream of the knife.
