Cotton module builder : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cotton module builder
The cotton module builder is a machine used in the harvest and processing of cotton. The module builder has helped to solve a logistical bottleneck by allowing cotton to be harvested quickly and compressed into large modules which are then covered and temporarily stored at the edge of the field. The modules are later loaded onto trucks and transported to a cotton gin for processing. ==History== In 1971 the first experimental cotton module builder was designed and built by a team led by Professor Lambert H. Wilkes at Texas A&M University in cooperation with Cotton Incorporated.〔(The Module Builder )〕 Cotton module builders have been in use since 1972.〔(Just Build It: Seed-Cotton Storage & Handling in Modules )〕 In the US today more than 90% of harvested cotton is compacted with module builders.〔 Module builders are also widely used in other countries where cotton is mechanically harvested. In 2002 the ASABE (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers) dedicated the cotton module builder as an historic landmark of agricultural engineering, naming it "one of the top three inventions in mechanized cotton production."〔(Cotton Module Builder To Be Dedicated As Historical Landmark )〕
