Air Control 8 and VFDs

A cotton gin’s performance is heavily dependent on its air systems. Fans move air, and in turn, that air moves the cotton. When the pipes are full of cotton, there is less air available to move the cotton.

Air Control 8 monitors fans in a drying system and other key centrifugal fans. In a drying system, Air Control 8 can boost your hot air volumeby 30% giving you the benefits of a higher air-to-cotton ratio. On a battery condenser and lint cleaners, Air Control 8 can help prevent chokes and backlash when ginning at top speed. Whenever there is a reduction or pause in your ginning rate, Air Control 8 reduces the airflow to a safe level to keep your fan motors from overloading.

All of this happens automatically and continuously, keeping your airflow optimized and helping you gin faster and more efficiently.
