About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics specification for a Compass TT510 Tabletop Cotton Gin (Brand Name or Equal) intended for laboratory-scale cotton processing by the USDA-ARS Crop Production System Research Unit.
The specification requires a portable, table-top 10-saw cotton gin weighing approximately 196 lbs, constructed from mild steel and aluminum, and operating on 120V, 60 Hz single-phase electrical power. The unit must include a 1/3 HP electric brake motor, 10 saw blades (approximately 5-1/4 inches in diameter), rib plate, horsehair brushes or equivalent lint cleaning mechanism, saw blade training tool, and agitator roll. Safety requirements include an integrated electric brake system capable of stopping saws within 3 seconds, minimum five safety interlock switches (control panel, breast door, two side-guard, and lint-box door), OSHA-approved safety guards for all moving components, and OSHA/NEC-compliant safety labeling. The gin must feature an integrated lint collection box with hinged access, manual removal capability, and direct coupling compatibility with pneumatic lint handling systems without modification. Enlarged aluminum seed boxes (minimum 50% greater capacity), aluminum seed catcher tray, and aluminum trash collection drawer are required. The unit must be compatible with a free-standing support stand featuring heavy-duty mild steel bolted construction and optional industrial-grade casters, accommodate a reversible control box for left- or right-side operator configuration, and integrate with portable dust collection systems via a 6-inch diameter lint-discharge interface with quick-fit adaptor and flexible hose connections (minimum 15 ft). Vendors must supply assembly drawings in Autodesk Inventor 3D/AutoCAD format, complete operating and maintenance manuals (hard copy and electronic), and a recommended spare parts list. Delivery must be made within 90 days of award to the USDA-ARS facility in Stoneville, MS. The equipment will be finished with powder-coat in gloss white (primary) and OSHA yellow (safety guards) and packaged for LTL freight transport.
