Project CRC109 was a separately funded project with aims to examine the whole ginning process critically and focus on identifying new technology and systems in gin pre-cleaning, ginning itself, lint cleaning and/or baling appropriate for Australian cotton. To this end CRC109 has been an information gathering project partly extending on the knowledge gained through the CRDC project CTFT9 but also initiating new understanding of other areas in the gin. The outcome of CRC109 is represented in the second of the new CRDC and CCC CRC ginning projects, which has the objective of measuring fibre moisture accurately in the gin and providing a feedback system to driers and/or humidifiers in order to modulate moisture in the fibre.
