The Vandergriff 181 Game Changer Conversion.

"A Product of Vandergriff Research"

As most of you know, we have converted 2 Continental 161 Gin stands to a 180 saws and 181 Ribs.  This conversion took place at Moseley's Gin & Warehouse, Abbeville, Alabama.  Ed Berry is the gin manager there.  We now have some tangible results to report from these conversions. Our goal was to increase the capacity of the gin stand in the most cost efficient way, and to provide an option to the ginning community to increase their plant capacities without spending ridiculous amounts of money on new gin stands.  We have now proved that this can be done, by converting 161's to 181's.

What is the process?

For now, you can send us the middle part of your front where your rib rail is located, and we will remove it, and install a new rib rail accurately drilled and tapped with 181 holes. This will be a solid, stout rail that will handle increased loads.  We will make the space blocks and also provide end plates.  This conversion does not use end ribs.  We will also provide the "game changer" 181 ribs. We call this the game changer because of some profile modifications we made to the rib to let the seed out of the roll better, making an increase in capacity more achievable.  We will ship all this back and you just put your front back on get your saw stacked and trained using our space blocks, and then install the 181 ribs.  You will be ready to gin at higher capacities.  We recommend a 200 HP motor for maximum results.
