DESIGN NEW MACHINES FOR GINNING, CLEANING COTTON -- Tashkent, Pravda Vostoka,
17 Mar 51
In the past few years, personnel of the All-Union Central Scientific Re-
search Institute for the Cotton Industry working in Tashkent, aided by engi-
neering-technical workers of the Uzbekistan cotton industry an,- by the person-
nel c the Tashsel'mash Plant imeni Voroshilov, have constructed a system of
new machines which have resulted in radical changes in cotton processing.
Several members of the institute and engineers of the Main Administration of
Cotton Industry, Ministry of Cotton Growing USSR; of the Main Administration
of Cotton Cleaning Industry, Ministry of Cotton Growing Uzbek SSR; and of the
Tashsel'mash Plant have received Third Stalin Prizes for developing these new
machines.
The KhDD air blast saw gin is the first Soviet machine of its kind. Its
productivity is 12 kilograms per saw per hour, one and a half times as much
as the best US aggregate of this type.
The institute has also constructed a machine which removes the linters
from the seed after ginning. The KhLM brush linter which was first
this type.
was two to two and a half times as productive as US.aggregates
Tb..n the engineers designed and put into series production the KhLF linter,
which removes the linters from the saws by an air blast instead of by a brush-
drum arrangement. Productivity of this second linter is 30 percent higher than
the first. In building this aggregate, Soviet engineers outstripped US, designers,
who to this day have not been able to find a satisfactory solution to air-blast
removal of linters from the saws, and have thus been compelled to use brush
drums.
The KhChE five-drum cleaner of original design cleans raw cotton of small
impurities. Productivity of the new aggregate ',is 12 tons :of raw cotton per
hour, and the cleaning effect has been increased one' and a half times as_com-
pared to former types. The usual woven-screens were replaced by grate feeders
which not only separate small waste but also part of the large waste. As a re -
sult, they do not get clogged with fibers and do not need frequent cleaning.

The productivity of pneumatic conveying equipment and its radius of op-
eration have had to be increased. Not long ago this equipment had to convey
cotton 100-120 meters at the rate of 6-8 tons per hour; now it must usually
convey it 150-200 meters at the rate of 10-12 tons per hour. Up to the pres-
ent, a worm conveyer and pneumatic equipment distributed the cotton to the
individual gins; now a new pneumatic conveyer with a capacity of up to 12 tons
of raw cotton per hour has been constructed. It uses 15 percent less power
and is cheaper to repair.
The working parts of raw-cotton-cleaning machines and gin saws are dam-
aged by heavy foreign bodies. The KhChI stone extractor, which removes heavy
foreign bodies from raw cotton, processes 15 tons of raw cotton per hour, re-
moving 98 percent of the impurities. Use of this extractor not only protects
the machines, but also improves their work, increasing their cleaning effect
and lowering the loss of lint along with the seeds.
to to and a half times
New machines which lower labor consumption two t., ~~ ..
have been designed for baling cotton.
The institute has developed a new cleaner for processing machine-picked
raw cotton. It is completing the design of a 160-saw air-bla&,t linter which
is 20-30 percent more productive than existing aggregates. The institute is
to build a system of cleaning machines which will produce high-quality lint
from machine-picked raw cotton without field cleaning. The institute is solv-
ing the problem of drying raw cotton so that it can be stored for long periods.
Drying raw cotton also improves the efficiency and productivity of cleaning
machines.
KIM PLANT DESIGNS NEW AUTOMATIC MACHINE TOOLS -- Moscow, Trud, 13 Mar 51
Innovators of the Kuntsevo Platinum Needle Plant imeni KIM, which recently
received the title of Stakhanovite enterprise, hav_ designed automatic machine
tools which replace dozens of workers and reduce production space per article.
Setup man V. Merkulov has designed an automatic machine tool which machines
stamped knitting needles, carrying out four mechanical and six hand operations,
and freeing more than 30 workers for production. Setup man A. Shornikov.has
designed an original automatic machine tool which performs several complex op-
erations in making RIPP hook knitting needles- inserting of the catch, bending
the hook, and assembling the needle on the plate. Use of this machinr.. tool
freed 20 qualified setupmen and reduced required production space 60 percent
to one section alone. These and other innovations resulted in a yearly saving
of about, 4 million rubles.
HIT SEWING MACHINE SPARE PARTS SHORTAGE -- Kiev, Pravda Ukrainy, 3 Mar 51
The spare-parts business is very poorly organized. The stores rsually
have screwdrivers and oil cans for sewing machines, but it is impossible to buy
the spare rubber ring necessary for winding thread on the spool. For some rea-
son, attachments for mending socks and for embroidering are not for sale.
TIMBER MANAGEMENTS FAIL TO GET NEW TREE PLANTERS -- Alma-Ata, Kazakhstanukaya
Pravda, 14 Feb 51
Last year, the technical council of the Ministry of Forestry Kazakh SSR
approved the plan of a new three-row tree planter designed by engineer Kiselev.
In the autumn of 1950, this planter was tested at the Krasnoborsk Timber Man-
agement with good results. It does the work of 120 men, and plants 10-12 hec-
tares of trees daily.

The amount of tree planting will grow in 1951, and many timber manage-
ments are striving for full mechanization to meet the new assignments. But
the Ministry of Forestry Kazakh SSR has not even sent working sketches of the
new machine to the oblasts, even though it could organize the building of
these machines in agricultural-machine-building plants. Spring is almost here
and the ministry should take prompt steps to equip the timber managements with
these tree planters.
LENINGRAD PLANT BUILDS SKIDDING TRACTORS -- Minsk, Sovetskaya Belorussiya,
11 Feb 51
Skidding tractors built by the Leningrad Kirov Plant are now in use in
the forests of the Belorussian SSR, the Karelo-Finnish SSR, and in the Far
East.
MAKES VACUUM PUMPS, OIL CONTAINERS -- Frunze, Sovetskaya Kirgiziya, 7 Mar 51
The Novo-Troitsk Machine-Building Plant, Ministry of Food Industry USSR,
since the beginning of the year has been considerably exceeding its assign-
ments for gross and commodity production and has built dozens of ventilators
and dump cars over the plan. The plant recently shipped to the tall-building
projects in Moscow a consignment of vacuum pumps for pumping out ground water.
The plant has increased the output of vegetable oil and petroleum product con-
tainers.
MACHINES TEST AIR SEAL OF FRUIT (:ANS -- Moscow, Komsomolskaya Pravda, 7 Mar 51
The Leninabad Canning Combine imeni Mikoyan has the latest technical equip-
ment. Two automatic pneumatic testers hz..e been set up for the coming fruit
season to test cans for airtightness after packing.
