' S e t t e r

This new model machine makes better quality lint by removing a large per­ centage of the foreign matter, such as pepper, immature seeds, hulls and lint trash. It increases the cellulose content of the lint, affording premium prices for normal cut lint or allowing a heavy cut at normal price.

The short fiber lint is separated from the shale and leaf trash and returned to the second cut system. This reduces your lint loss and allows extra profits.

Other Fort Worth lint room equip­ ment includes Brushless Linter D e­ vices, Pneumatic Lint Flue Systems, Linter Saws, Exhaust Fans and Cyclone Separators. Fort Worth Engineers are available to assist you with any of your lint room problems without obligation.

In 1945, John saw the company move into larger quar­ ters in the highly industrial area of New Orleans. From 1945 to 1951 John Rogers traveled over the Central and Western United States making friends, renewing friendships. A year ago, John suffered a broken leg caused by an auto backing into him . . . this confined him to bed for a long period . . . fol­ lowed by another illness. John retired from active business to enjoy his camp at Kemah, Texas. And, we of the oil milling industry, who have known and loved John Rogers, admired his grit, and depended on his judgment, proclaim him a great booster of the Oil Milling Industry. And, we consider it a honor to dedicate this Fifth Divisional Program to John Rogers, Houston, Texas.

SAFE • EFFICIENT • DURABLE • ECONOMICAL REES High Capacity Cotton Gin Refuse Burner

AT LAST — A BURNER THAT DOES MORE

THAN JUST BURN!

REES Burners have for many years been used successfully in the woodworking industry for burning all types of wood refuse. Their adaptation to the burning of refuse from cotton gins—the burr, trash, mote and refuse lint— is new, but has been proven on burners placed in operation during the past two years. Basically the burner is of conical type construction—all metal, REES 22 I D C BUHNER air cooled, with an inner lining of heavy corrugated iron, and provided with special ventilators to create a swirling action in the burning. There is an inner horizontal screen and a screen dome on the top, so that no sparks or flying embers escape from the burner. Because of the construction and controlled draft, you get as near as complete combustion in the REES Burner as is possible, thereby eliminating the nuisance of the heavy smoke and fumes found in most burners. These units are completely prefabricated, and every part, even to the bolts and screws, are furnished. Com­ plete erection plans and details are also supplied with the REES Burner. They are made with a base diameter of 28 feet, which will take care of the refuse from 5-80's. Larger sizes are also available to take care of refuse from 10-90's. The burner has a long life, and should replacement of the inner lining, or any part thereof be necessary, it is both inexpensive and easy to do. An access door for throwing in miscellaneous trash or rerfuse is built into the burner. A cyclone or dust collector is necessary for operation, as the refuse can not be discharged into the burner from an open exhaust pipe. In most areas we are in a position to quote an erected price, or to furnish an experienced mechanic to supervise the installation of the unit; or the customer may easily install the burner himself.

Throbbing heart of Kern County, Bakersfield is a beautiful city with a reputation for casual living expressed by modern comfortable homes lining wide streets, shaded with tall palsm and eucalyptus trees. The city was incorporated in 1873 when it became the county seat. Perhaps the most vivid picture absorbed by the visitor entering Bakersfield is from the south: As the traveler comes out of the Te- hachapi Mountains, moving swiftly along a smooth, four-lane divided artery, he is suddenly awed by the vast panorama sprawled out before him below the Grapevine.

In the 1860’s Colonel Baker’s green fields and adobe house already had become a welcome oasis to people traveling north from Los Angeles . . . their horses were usually put in “the field of Colonel Baker” to keep them from joining the many bands of wild horses that still roamed the Valley. Later, the name was abbreviated to “Baker’s Field,” and, finally, became its present-day title, “Bakersfield.”

Bakersfield, Queen of the San Joaquin Located approximately midway between Los An­ geles on the south and San Francisco on the north ... in the heart of the fruitful San Joaquin Valley, Bakersfield, has made its place in the sun as one of California’s—even the nation’s— most progressive cities. Since the discovery of oil in the Kern River area in 1902, the city has grown steadily, attaining a population of approximately 35,000 in 1938. Dur­ ing the 30’s however, with the advent of extensive irrigation added to the oil and the cattle and sheep ranching that founded the earlier progress of Greater Bakersfield, came the potato, cotton and other types of agriculture along with its diversified industry. During the war years many government installations, including Army and Navy Air Force test bases, Army Air Force training establishments were added to nearby areas in Kern County . . . these were based here because of the high percent­ age of days of good flying weather during the year, personnel of these installations came, sawr and liked the area . . . and returned at the end of the war, adding their talents and investments to the rapidly growing center of the Valley.

PREFILTRATION OF VEGETABLE OILS

It was common practice in the old days to settle crude oil as it came from expeller or press. This was a slow process and permitted fermentation, producing a high percent of free fatty acids in the oil. Nor was the oil clear. It retained slimy matter in suspension. If oil was sold all these items were deductible from invoice. For, they created a high refining loss.

In 1924, at the old Globe Mills we introduced the step now commonly known as prefiltration. The crude oil is filtered as made through HOOPERW OOD FILTER CLOTH— TWILL GRADE— and our HOLEFREE CREPE FILTER PAPER. THE SO FILTERED OIL IS CLEAR, LOW IN FREE FATTY ACIDS AND HAS A LOWER REFINING LOSS.

HOLEFREE CREPE FILTER PAPER is m ade from N orw egian pulp, has a very high wet strength, the 60-lb. grad e is thin and thus the oil retention low. The toughness of this paper permits it to be used many times.

It forms a barrier against sliming of the cloth. A more open or porous cloth may be used—economy—and dressing is less. The paper and cloth adds no ectra pressure on the flow.

This process has been adopted over the 30-year period by leading firms. Our WESTERN WAREHOUSE obtains the items by water—economy in many carlots. Distributors are being arranged for in your district.

FOOTS PRESS APPLICATION IN THE One particular advantage of this stacker is its VEGETABLE OIL INDUSTRY mobility. A good example of this is the fact these two were towed from Taft to Bakersfield, Calif., During the last two years the Enterprise Engine & Machinery Co., a subsidiary of the General Metals Corp., has been doing considerable development work in perfecting a compact, low pressure press for use in extracting the free or surface oil from vegetable oil foots. Enterprise engineers, in studying this phase of development, reasoned the excessive oil being returned with the foots from the screening tank to the main feed line into the cookers (ex- pellers, or mechanical screw system), could effec­ tively be extracted immediately upon leaving the screening tank. Months of development work fol­ lowed the initial installation of one unit in the Cali­ fornia Cotton Oil Corporation, Los Angeles, Calif., and with the splendid cooperation o f Harold F, Crossno, superintendent, results were successful. The installation and operation of an Enterprise Foots Press in the Foots line in most vegetable oil plants is comparatively simple, for the press is placed in the foots line, taking the foots immediately upon leaving the screening tank. The foots enters the press at approxim ately 55% oil and is reduced to under 15%.

GRADUATE SOFT WATER AND THE OIL MILL By N. A. WYNHAUSEN, General Manager Los Angeles Water Softener Co., Inc. 1723 Riverside Drive, Los Angeles 31, Calif. Hard water eats away at plant profits but is still not recognized in many industries. Before water reaches your plant it may have travelled many miles over limestone beds; it may have been pumped from wells; or it may have come through the municipal water mains after being treated to insure its purity with respect to bacteria. In any event it has absorbed minerals and salts in its travels which are still present when it reaches you. The salts of calcium and magnesium give the water the quality of “hardness."

Since the improved types of zeolite will soften up to 10 times as much water and require only 50 per cent as much salt, it is economically practical to replace the older types in existing softeners with the more efficient product, as the savings in salt and water usually save the replacement cost within two years.

vent charging stock, application of vacuum, etc., has created wide adoption of the solvent extraction method throughout the country. With the increased production of cotton in the Western States, it is natural that the extraction of cottonseed oil is uppermost in our minds. New instal­ lations in the Western States for the extraction of cottonseed oil, as well as other oils, have given fa­ vorable results and, consequently, created consider­ able interest in this method. There has been extensive research and practical investigation in the solvent extraction of vegetable oils and particularly cottonseed oil, by State Govern­ mental Experiment Agencies, as well as private industry. The excellent results obtained by com­ panies using the solvent extraction method have created wide interest, and there is a definite trend that as mechanical equipment wears out, you can expect solvent extraction to be given serious consid­ eration in future plans. Solvent extraction has reached the point where it is an important factor in the general economy and, accordingly, is favorably considered. The product used in solvent extraction of vegeta­ ble oils has, in most cases, been Hexane. This solvent has been improved in keeping with other changes in the extraction industry; it is of petroleum origin and in ample supply position. ART J.

HERCULES NAMES ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER Arthur Langmeier has been named assistant gen­ eral manager of the Naval Stores Department of Hercules Powder Company. Formerly he was direc­ tor of operations of that department. A. H. Reu, manager of Georgia operations of the Naval Stores Department, becomes director of opera­ tions for the department in Wilmington, replacing Mr. Langmeier. George E. Bosserdet, general superintendent of the naval stores plant at Klamath Falls, Oregon, will succeed Mr. Reu as manager of Georgia operations. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Mr. Langmeier joined Hercules Powder Company upon graduating1 from the University of Missouri in 1918. He engaged in chemical and engineering laboratory work at plants in Kenvil, N. J., and Brunswick, Ga., for six years, then moved to Wilmington as assistant to the tech­ nical director of the company. In 1928 when Hercules operations were organized departmentally, Mr. Langmeier was named assistant director of sales of the Naval Stores Department. He became director of sales in 1981, and director of operations in 1989. In these various executive capaci­ ties he has had much to do with the pioneering work in the processing and sales development of naval stores chemicals. Mr. Reu joined Hercules Powder Company in 1920, after completing his studies in chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota. In 1944,_ he was appointed to the post of manager of Georgia opera­ tions. In this capacity, he supervised the operations of the Brunswick, Ga., naval stores plant, and of the far-flung wood-gathering operations carried on m Georgia and surrounding states. He is a native of Rock Falls, 111. Mr. Bosserdet, as manager of Georgia operations, will make his headquarters at the Brunswick plant. Prior to going to Klamath Falls in 1950, Mr. Bosser- det had served as plant superintendent at Brunswick for eleven years. Born in Ford City, Michigan, he joined Hercules Powder Company in 1925, shortly after graduation from the University of Michigan. He served at the Hattiesburg, Miss., naval stores plant as chemist, chief chemist, and plant supervisor, before trans­ ferring to the Brunswick plant. February ^1952 OIL MILL GAZETTEER Page 65

P. Clark and A. Cecil’Wamble. The experimentation dealt with determining a commercially-feasible two-stage method which would include a process for solvent extraction of the oil from cottonseed prior to the removal of linters, and a treatment of the extracted residue for the separa­ tion of meal, hulls, and linters. In the experimentation the conventional method of oil extraction (whereby cottonseed is delinted by saw-type linters and the meats are separated from the hulls before rolling and extraction) was com­ pared with two different approaches to the research problem in order that adequate cost comparison data could be obtained. In one approach all lint separation was accomplished after the oil had been extracted. In the other approach, first-cut linters (20 per cent consisting of longer fibers) were removed from the Best Wishes seed before extraction. The bulletin in the main pro­ for a vides data dealing with the former approach of oil extraction before any lint separation. In this process Successful Meeting the seeds were rolled in flaking rolls and the oil was extracted with commercial hexane.

Both of the newly determined processes— (1) oil extraction before linter removal and (2) oil extrac­ Compliments tion after first-cut linter removal — are technically feasible and can utilize standard equipment now on of the market to provide oil, hull fiber, meal, and hull bran (10 per cent protein). To make the most desir­ able process, that of oil extraction before any linter West Coast Fertilizer removal, economically practical, further research is necessary to determine new uses for the hull-lint & Rendering Co. fraction.

Measurement of Cake Temperatures 24 Hours Around The Clock The importance of pressing temperature is quite evident from the Baskervill equation, (2). Obviously, it would be desirable to maintain the cake temperature at a level at least equal to the cooking temperature. In January 1950, the R, A.

The temperatures were ELECTRIC COMPANY measured by means of thermocouples placed three inches from one corner of the cake.

It was concluded that conduction of heat Long Beach, Calif. El Paso, Texas through the rams in the laboratory presses was appreciable 7-4611 2-9431 and undesirable. Accordingly, the rams were equipped with oil-heated platens, as described above, to prevent such tem­ perature variations. With this arrangement it was possible to maintain any desired pressing temperature within four or five degrees F for the entire pressing pex-iod. EXPERIMENTS WITH THE PRESSURE COOKER PACIFIC DIAMOND Experiments were made, using the pressure cooker, to find the effects of cooking time and cooking pressure on the residual oil vs moisture relationship. Leaks around the agi­ tator shaft and condensation of steam and absorption of moisture by the meats prevented adequate control of the cooking pressure and temperature, and in addition, agglom­ BAG COMPANY eration of fines resulted in a non-uniform product. Because of the inadequate control during cooking the results were inconclusive and could not be reproduced with an accuracy much better than ± 1 per cent of residual oil.

Certain facts were established, however. For example, it BURLAP 6l COTTON was shown that in the range of 2 to 14 per cent initial press­ ing moisture the moistui’e in the cakes decreased about 4 per cent of the initial content during a 30-minute pressing time.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Particular acknowledgment is due to E. A.

The effect of the rate of application of pressure on residual oil vs moisture is not the same for different temperatures. This is shown in Figure 8. If it is true that oil may be trapped by too rapid a rate of application of pressure, the reason that it should be more easily trapped at a higher r S ENGINEERED temperature is not apparent. Presumably the mechanism is related in some way to preferential wetting by water of the TO GIVE LONGER oil-bearing material; this would explain the shape of the typi­ cal residual oil vs moisture curve and the effect of tempera­ TROUBLE-FREE SERVICE ture on the position of the curves, but it would not explain the apparent interrelatedness of the effects of rate of appli­ cation of pressure and temperature.

EVALUATION OF LINTERS FOR CHEMICAL COTTON By E. E. HEMBREE Head of Standards and Products Service, Buckeye Cotton Oil Co., Memphis, Tenn. Note: This address delivered before the Tri-States Oil Mill Superintendents Association in Memphis, February 2, 1952, at the Claridge Hotel. Linters normally refers to all fibers left on the seed after ginning, but second-cut linters are chiefly the thick-walled fuzz hairs which form a dense tangled mat close to the sur­ face of the seed. The average length of second-cut linters ranges between Vs and M inches. Some of the principal dif­ ferences between fuzz hairs and lint are, fuzz hairs are shorter, thicker walled and contain more pigment. The primary use of second-cut linters is in the production TIME FROM APPLICATION OF PRESSURE of purified cotton cellulose for the chemical industry.

There are several methods for evaluating the quality of linters: 1. Visual Inspection. 2. Cellulose Yield. 3. Cooking, bleaching and conversion to a derivative of cellulose. 4. Foreign Material Determination. Field inspectors visit the various oil mills, sample and vis­ ually inspect the bales of linters for properties affecting color, clarity and shale of an acetate solution. Shale is the term given to pieces of stalk, bolls, leaves and hulls found in linters in varying degrees. This is only a preliminary exam-

stalks, hulls and other woody materials. This method furn­ ishes no evaluation for coloring matter in linters. There is a general relationship between the weight of foreign material in raw linters and the shale and clarity of a solution of cellu­ lose acetate, but this method is not an acceptable substitute for purification and acetylation tests. We divide linters into four grades: Number 1 grade identi­ fies linters as having low color, high clarity and low shale properties and is used in high quality pulps for films, plastics, yarns, lacquers and fine papers. Number 2 and Number 3 grades are linters w’ith more color and haze forming materi­ als and are used in gunpowder, rayons and cellulose deriva­ tives where color and haze properties are not so important. Number 4 grade is a grade of linters we prefer not to buy and from which it is difficult and costly to make any satis­ factory type pulp. Some of the factors affecting the quality of linters for chemical use are: 1. Variety of Seed. PRESSING TEMPERATURES, DEGREES F 2. Soil and climate. 3. Picking.

The yield of cellulose is determined by the standard method of the American Oil Chemists’ Society, and is important to Cake Temp. the oil mill as well as the bleachery. Though any premium mbol Run No. °F Pressing Schedule paid for linters is determined from the pot cook yield, the yield is not the determining factor in linters quality.

Since the object of purification is to obtain a pure high alpha cellulose, all sand, dirt and material V 226 200-210 D soluble in a weak caustic solution are removed and lost. The third method of evaluation and the one which we con­ sider the most important is the measurement of color, clarity and shale of cellulose acetate solutions. The linters are first PRESSING SCHEDULE given a cook and bleach comparable to plant operation and £ then converted into a solution of cellulose acetate. The color O HH is determined by comparing to a standard, the turbidity or clarity is determined by measuring the quantity of solution required to obscure a standard spot and the shale remaining as undissolved particles in the solution is counted and given m m a relative value. § 5 Another method which has been suggested for determining Ph the quality of linters is the measurement of foreign material. This procedure was developed by T. L. Rettger and is based on the principle used in measuring the quantity of fiber on seed.

There are hundreds of varieties of cotton with wide varia­ tions in the quantity of linters on the seed and in the charac­ teristics of the fibers. Some varieties produce a coarse thick wall fiber; others produce a fine thin wall fiber. Some types are wiry and stiff, others soft. Wall thickness and fineness influence chemical reactivity of the fiber. The locality in which cotton is grown, rainfall and length of growing season have a large influence on linters as well as MOISTURE (DRY, OIL-FREE BASIS), % on lint cotton.

material can be attributed to the care in picking cotton. A Cake Temp, Pressing common type of foreign material and one which the bleachery Symbol Run No. °F Schedule cannot remove from linters is the cocklebur. Mechanical pick­ ° ing and careless hand picking can collect a lot of trash which 256 225-235 F is not removed from the seed at the gins or from the linters □ 257 220-230 F at the oil mills. To obtain the highest grade of second-cut linters, clean seed must be used. Linters from seed picked and ginned at the beginning of the season usually do not produce PRESSING SCHEDULE the highest grade pulp due to high moisture content of the seed. Linters from seed which have been allowed to remain in the field until the end of the season are stained and contain a large percentage of trash. Colors developed from weather damage and fungus staining are difficult to remove. The practice of snapping cotton towards the end of the picking season is increasing. The large percentage of bolls and limbs from this type of picking definitely lowers the grade of linters. Cleaning up the seed and linters from this type of picking has become a problem of the oil mills as well as ginners. Ginning equipment and gin operation ai-e important in producing clean seed which in turn permits the oil mills to produce clean linters. Seed storage can be important to linter quality. If seed are allowed to overheat, the cellulose is degraded, the yield drops and the color is increased. In sandy regions, if the seed are not properly stored, fine sand can sift in from winds and sandstorms and load the linters with a foreign material which is difficult to remove and causes trouble in the finished product. The first thing oil mills can do to produce high yield and O good grade linters is to demand and buy clean seed from the ginners. We realize this is not always easy. If seed filled with £ stalks, leaves, bolls and cockleburs are bought then it becomes P the problem of the oil mills to clean the seed before process­ ing. After cleaning the seed and removing the linters, the 10 11 V i 13 14 linters should be run through cleaning equipment. Before we can charge the linters into our digesters we must give the MOISTURE (DRY, OIL-FREE BASIS), % linters additional cleaning to obtain an acceptable chemical cotton. The hard, woody hulls of the cottonseeds may be good to feed your cow or mulch your roses but to us they are worthless and cost money to remove. Careful attention to Cake Temp.

In addition to the above materials, we may find pockets of straw, cinders, hulls, grease or anything that may be swept up from the floor and dumped in the press. There is really no excuse for foreign material of this type getting into bales of linters. Quality of linters affects the cost and degree of purifica­ tion and grade of chemical cotton which can be obtained. An average grade of linters will produce approximately 73

AMMONIA CONTENT cellulose and high mineral content of hulls cause haziness in PER CENT OF DRY, OIL-FREE MIXTURE acetate solutions which influences filtration, clarity of plas­ tics and dyeing of yarn. Shale shows up as unreacted par­ ticles and add their share of color and haziness. For pulp used by the viscose rayon industry, color and clarity are not as important as for cellulose acetate. Reactiv­ ity which is influenced by degree of purification, and foreign material are important factors affecting viscose filtration. Filtration is a necessary and expensive step in the viscose process. The same properties of color and clarity important to cellu­ lose acetate apply to nitrocellulose for lacquer. Shale and foreign material remaining in pulp for smokeless powder are dangerous. These unreactive particles are not nitrated and cause fires in the centrifuges or make the gunpowder un­ stable. A large percentage of linters used for gunpowder is going into special powder which requires a homogeneous and uniform grain powder free of foreign material. Shale and foreign materials after being ground into fine pieces are especially harmful to this type powder. Paper companies manufacturing high grade specialty papers and paper for laminating, require a pulp to be abso­ lutely free of any specks from bolls, stalks, leaves, hulls or trash of any kind. A very clean grade of linters is required for this type of pulp. I have attempted to give some ideas on the quality of linters desired and why, by describing methods for testing and evaluating, presenting various factors which affect qual­ ity for chemical use, and how these characteristics influence purification and final products of the chemical cotton. There are two other factors which are affecting the use of purified cotton linters in the rayon industry, competition from improved woodpulps and instability of linters prices. For a number of years chemical cotton enjoyed the position of hav­ ing the highest percent of alpha cellulose and producing better rayons than any other pulps. This is being changed by the development of new processes for preparing high alpha cellulose pulps from wood. Around 1933, the viscose industry was using a blend of approximately 50 per cent cotton linters plus 50 per cent woodpulp; today no linters are being used in textile grade viscose rayon. Linters are still being used with woodpulp for rayon tire cord but woodpulps are being devel­ oped which will make this use of linters unnecessary. Until the end of 1937, cotton linters were used exclusively in the production of cellulose acetate. By 1946, woodpulp had super­ seded linters as the principal source of cellulose for acetate yarns. Scarcity of woodpulps has acounted for the increased use of cotton linters during the past few years. With the completion of new woodpulp plants now being built, the need HULLS IN MEATS for linters will be much less. PER CENT OF DRY, OIL-FREE MIXTURE In addition to the lower cost of woodpulps, the relative sta­ bility of woodpulp prices has influenced the change from Composition of hull-meat mixtures as a function of ammonia content.

A decrease in yield from 73 per cent to 66 per cent reduces the production capacity of a plant about 10 per cent. Usually low yield linters produce a finished pulp which when converted into a cellulose acetate solution will have a poor color, and clarity or haziness.
