Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin which removes the seeds from cotton.
After the cotton is picked it is sent to a gin. The gin removes the seeds and the cotton is cleaned and bailed for shipment.
It is called a cotton gin and is still used today in a modernized form.
The cotton gin removes the seeds from the cotton. This is a more difficult and slower process when done by hand, without the use of a cotton gin.
Cotton is typically the substance processed in a ginnery. The ginnery removes seeds from cotton fibers, preparing it for further processing into textiles.
Eli Whitney's cotton gin which removes seeds from cotton made US cotton cheaper and improved its position on the world market.
Before the cotton gin the cotton seeds had to be hand picked out of the tight knit bolls. This took a long time and was labor intensive. Cotton can't be processed with the seeds still in the bolls. The cotton gin removes the seeds by having brush type rollers tear apart the cotton boll and the seeds fall to the bottom. The seeds are used for the next crop of cotton and the gin meant that much more cotton could be planted which led to the need for a larger population of slaves.
It is a machine (gin comes from engine) that quickly removes the seeds from raw cotton. It made cotton cheap to produce.
The cotton gin helped to clean the cotton fibers. It had comb like structures that rotated to take dirt, bugs, and othere things out of the fibers. This made it ready to be made into threa, using the spinning jenny.
