Bale Godown

Bale Godown

Cotton bales loose weight during the storage after pressing. Major portion of the moisture applied before pressing escapes from the bale till the time of bale dispatch. During winter, The humidity remains very low during the day time and also dry wind blows during the day time. Hence cotton bales loose the moisture. In summer, the temperature, sunlight exposure & lower humidity make the cotton bales dry & also the quality is deteriorated. This period together covers almost 80% of the cotton season in which the ginners are not able to retain pressing time bale moisture. Ideally the cotton bales should be stored in covered godown at controlled 65% relative humidity. If the bales are stored in this condition, the bales will retain the moisture and also cotton properties.

If the conventional humidifier fan is used for maintaining the humidity in bale godown, the water droplets coming out from the fan spoils the bales and also the humidity control is not possible. In this new system, an attachment designed to eliminate these droplets and to allow only humidified air to pass through it is fixed to the fan and a humidity control panel is provided to control the humidity within desired level of 65% ± 2%.

Advantage

• Bale weight loss can be reduced or eliminated, hence resulting
• in higher dispatch weight.
• Cotton quality is also preserved along with the weight benefit.
• Features
• Much better use of existing humidifier fan is done.
• Simple system with very low investment.
