Excerpt from Overhead Cleaner-Drying Systems for Seed Cotton
The installation cost Of this air-line drying system may be held between $500 and $700 if the gin is already equipped with an air-line cleaner and has a suction fan of adequate capacity. Allowing 6 percent interest on a $600 investment and 10 percent for depreciation, the annual fixed cost Of this installation would be about $100. With an operating cost of not more than 20 cents per bale, the minimum volume of damp cotton needed to make the drier pay would be 375 bales of short-staple or 150 of long-staple cotton.
