We here at Lorenzo Mfg Co Inc are proud to announce that we
now have "enhanced" separating cross auger kits
for John Deere 484 and 7400 cotton strippers.
Factory cross augers have 12" pitch flighting with two
bats. We have added an additional set of flighting between the
original set of flighting thus providing a 6" pitch cross
auger with four bats at the suction or vacuum point.
The purpose of the additional flight and bats is to provide
a more uniform and even flow of cotton to the air shoot. The
more evenly distributed flow of cotton allows green bolls to
be separated rather than ride "wads" of cotton to the
basket.
Field trials have demonstrated that similar separation occurs
with our "enhanced" cross auger at higher stripping
speeds as would occur with a factory cross auger at slower stripping
speeds operating the enhanced cross auger green bolls as small
in diameter as a quarter have been observed in the boll box.
Additional benefits of the "enhanced" auger
kit are smoother operation and less vibration of the stripper
and the removal of the hanger within the cross auger trough.
To date, these cross auger kits have been installed on both
John Deere 484 and 7440 & 7445 strippers. Lint increased
1% on the cotton stripped with a 7455 with a burr extractor. |
