Update Your Knowledge A t The Short Course!

To My Fellow Oil Millers: One of the things about technology is that it does not stand still. A s one solution is found to problems another problem pops up and not only that as time goes by the solution that tvas found a number of years ago to the first problem may now be outdated and something better has been discovered. We, as super­ intendents, have need of constantly updating our knowledge. One of our goals in preparing the short course program was to reflect these changing times. W ith prices for linters now a factor, we felt we might need some new pointers on making quality lint. W ith the embargo on some farm products, prices in some areas of our production have gone down while hexane has gone

up — several speakers will deal with this topic of cost cutting on energy. Stan Clark and 1 have been involved in preparing this program since the short course last year and u is our sincere wish that all of you will attend and will receive from the topics and speakers something that will make you do your job a little better, a little more economically.

Safety Program

Each year the Texas Cottonseed Crushers Association sponsors a safety contest for oil mills. An address on how to develop and maintain a safety program will be featured prior to the announcement and award of the cash prizes and plaques. This is the final item of the short course, with Jack Whetstone, executive vice president of the association, presiding. The contest is open to all mills throughout the world, the only requirement being that a mill representative must be present. Any superintendent with a good safety record for the past year is invited to fill out the form below and either mail in or bring it to the short course. Rules are simple, involving very little of the superintendent's time in completing the form. These plaques are handsome and look good at the mill — encouraging continued good safety practices by mill personnel.

The company was founded in 1888 by Valerius D. A n d e r s o n . Mr. Anderson designed and developed the Expeller® Press which w as the first machine to contin­ uously press oleaginous seeds and nuts to separate oil and cake. With the advent of solvent extraction, the company was also instrumental in developing a pre-press operation to remove oil from high oil content seeds such as sunflower seeds. The new owners plan to use the firm’s experience in vegetable extraction to expand into new process areas such as machinery for processing corn germ, a by-product from the manufacture of corn alcohol. The increasing d em an d for “gasohol” could foster greater demand for such processing.

Thus, a stack' w ith 550°F temperature might be reduced to >F with an economizer, resulting in five per cent efficiency gain. In retrofitting an economizer, for best results the Truck Dumps economizer should be specifically designed for the boiler. Design should be based on actual data that is taken.

Dear Jim:

We have had your new RollMaster automatic linter feeder drive on our Carver delinting machines for over two months. We are very pleased with the performance - this new feeder rive on our HC-2 High Capacity delinters is very simple to adjust, then requires no further attention. It eliminates the problem of seed roll fluctuation; it keeps the density we desire.

As you know, we have 33 of the high capacity delinters. Prior to installation of the new feeder drives our tonnage averaged around 350 tons per day. We now average easily in excess of 400 tons a day, at least a 15% increase in capacity. Incoming seed has a lint content of approximately 9% to 10%, and we are delinting down to 21/£% lint.

In summary, we think the new RollMaster feeder drive enables us to do a more efficient job with our Carver delinters. It simplifies adjustments and greatly reduces the attention required of the operator, yet keeps a constant seed roll.

We do not hesitate to recommend installing your new feeder drives to anyone wishing to simplify the operation of the lint room and to get more capacity from the equipment.

Yours very truly,

SWEETWATER COTTON OIL COMPANY
