We have several gins running our conversions in the field now. These are 2 of the most recent 161-181 Conversions done by Vandergriff Inc. These particular ones are running at Cherokee Gin in Alabama.

These are cruising at 20 BPH per hour in this 2 stand plant, and have run up to 22-23 BPH. If you have Continental Gin Stands and want to increase your capacity without spending excessive amounts of money on new gin stands, this is a very attractive option for you. If gin company's come knocking on your door wanting to sell you 10-12' wide gin stands, make sure you consider all the cost involved with it. Changing overhead. Lint Cleaning. Also, bigger fans and more horsepower for drying. Bigger burners, more BTU's. Press upgrades. $$$.
Vandergriff Inc is the pioneer in the move to these narrower saw spacings, and gin stand conversions. Mr. Vandergriff did the first one in 1996. This is the only conversion with the Game Changer Vandergriff Rib. Competitors do not and will not have access to this rib.
If you want to upgrade your plant , this should be an attractive option for you to consider.
Products of Vandergriff Research are made in the USA. Not China. Not India. Not Pakistan. The quality shows.

Vandergriff Inc. Fall Updates
Most USA ginners are off and running, while overseas ginners are starting to wind down. If you are interested in the Vandergriff Gin Rib, we wanted you to know how important it is to get your order in as early as you can for the 2017 season. Yes these ribs can be hard to get as spring rolls on into summer. Here is why.
CNC Production Machine, Inc out of Charlotte, NC machines between 7,000-8,000 forgings a year into the various models of Vandergriff Ribs. They have been doing this from the start (1994) and have the production of this rib down. But to machine this type of volume of forgings is time consuming. If we sell out of a particular model of rib in May, it will be hard to get the forgings and have them machined in time for you to get them when you need them for the upcoming season. This is why you need to order early.
Lummus 116, 158 and 170 and 224.
This Lummus Rib also fits Cherokee Gin Stands.
Continental 141, 161, 201.
Also for the Vandergriff 181 Game Changer Conversion .
Consolidated 164, 198, 184 and 222.
Vandergriff Ribs are the only ones not made from cheap foreign castings. They are made in the USA.
With the narrower saw spacings becoming more popular, its imperative you use a rib made from a steel forging. Inaccurate cast ribs will not hold up to the stress that 200+ HP motors apply to them.
Vandergriff Ribs are running world-wide in all gin operations that realize how important it is to not skimp on gin ribs for their expensive gin stands and want optimum performance from them.
Call Loyd Vandergriff if you are interested in these ribs, or need replacements.
