Within the industry, there has been arisen a misconception that high-capacity ginning results in lower-quality fiber. However, when the ginnery and all its sub-systems have been properly designed, operated, and maintained, this has been shown not to be the case. Increased ginning capacity without compromised quality will continue to be one of the major goals of the industry, since it will result in lower per-bale ginning costs and more cotton being processed in a given amount of time. 2, record 1, English, - ginning%20capacity

A common misconception is that aerosol filters work like microscopic sieves in which only particles smaller than the holes can get through. This view may be appropriate for the liquid filtration of solid particles, but it is not how aerosol filtration works.... particles are removed by a fibrous filter when they collide and attach to the surface of the fibers. 1, record 2, English, - aerosol%20filter
