Abstract: A processing system for delinting cotton has a delinter driven by an AC drive motor. The delinter is fed by a feeder/cleaner driven by a DC feed motor. A visual display ammeter measures the current drawn by the drive motor and produces a given load voltage corresponding to the measured current. The load voltage is then translated into a feed voltage to the feed motor, thereby regulating the feed into the delinter at a predetermined rate responsive to the load on the drive motor.
