The Conveyor Distributor is a screw-type conveyor, mounted in a specially-designed trough, which receives the seed cotton from the precleaning machinery mounted above it and conveys it, distributing it into hoppers mounted above the extractor feeders. Conveyor Distributors typically feature a 16” diameter screw conveyor, but for ultra-high-capacity gin plants, required a 24” diameter screw option. Any excess seed cotton that carries past the feeder hoppers is collected in an Automatic Overflow Hopper, which feeds it into an air stream that returns the cotton to an Overflow Separator. The Overflow Separator is mounted so as to re-introduce the seed cotton to the Conveyor Distributor, thus completing the live overflow cycle.
