Cotton Harvest

Cotton Harvest

Cotton is a fiber of extreme socioeconomic importance for Brazil, since we are among the five main world producers and also as one of the countries that export it the most. Cotton Harvest

The cotton agribusiness has evolved a lot over the years and currently the cotton produced here, through a highly effective cotton harvest, is already considered of extreme quality undergoing rigorous processes and criteria, such as traceability, sustainability among others.

To reach this level of excellence, everything begins on the farms where cotton is planted. As it grows on a shrub, the cotton plant, the most effective way to perform the cotton harvest is by using a cotton harvester.

There are currently two types of cotton harvester systems to perform the cotton harvest: the spindle type, also known as a picker, which only removes the lint cotton, and the stripper cotton harvester, which is equipped with roller systems, thus removing the entire bolls, hulls, and husks.

How does a cotton harvest work? The cotton harvest is carried out by means of a cotton harvester that has a large "fine comb" whose gaps pluck the entire bolls from the plant, which are deposited right behind the comb, on the platform. This part forces the detachment of the fiber that had not been released from the plant.

It is important to mention that right after the cotton harvest, it is stored in rolls on the farms, before going to the gin. For storage without losses and maintaining the quality of the cotton, rural producers can count on Super Cotton Wrap, a plastic film for baling cotton in the field.

Developed with high technology and through an innovative process, Super Cotton Wrap is compatible with the main cotton harvesters on the market, allowing cotton baling to be performed automatically and without stops, ensuring speed and agility at the time of the cotton harvest.
