How do cotton picking machines work?
The basic principal of the cotton picker has remained unchanged from the days it was pulled by horses. The picker has a drum mounted vertically that has rows of spindles. The spindles have gear teeth on the base and are pointed with tiny teeth. The drum rotates the Spindles around from front to back, while the spindles are rotated on their axis. The Spindles have small teeth that grab the cotton as they rotate to the front of the drum. When the drum rotates to the aft position, the Spindles are rotated in opposite direction and the cotton is brushed off of them, falling into a bin.
