This research aims to develop and evaluate small and simple machine to gin Egyptian cotton in laboratory. This machine helped technicians scholars to study the effect of any treatments during the agriculture season on properties of cotton fibers and seeds. The studied parameters in this study were: four values of fly wheel weight, three values of clearance between two drums, three values of rotation at speed and four values of inclination angle of drums with horizontal axis. Evaluation parameters were: the fall rates of cotton flower and seeds, To evaluate the fibers Goodness of following tests were conducted Ginned (elongation, solidity and stiffness), energy requirement, machine efficiency and costs. The developed machine decreased the ratio of seeds damage and short fibers. Worth mentioning that this machine do not make any complicacy in fibers. Added to the case of using for this machine with no cutting in fibers.
