Karsandas Gokaldas & Co., a family enterprise, is operational in the business of cotton ginning and trading since 1950. The company was founded by their late grandfather Mr. Karsandas with ginning capcity of 20 bales per day and now is running with 300 bales per day. At present, the company has state of the art, modern ginning and pressing plant located at Pajod, 12 kms from Manavadar (second largest Cotton ginning centre of Gujarat State) in Junagadh District of Gujarat state.


Most notably, they have improved the quality parameters in last few years with new machinery for both ginning and pressing and as a result they are able to offer to their buyers contamination free quality raw cotton. This enables them to increase spinning efficiency.



They are very proud of the success and growth that they have shared with their suppliers and buyers over the last 50 years. They are equally pleased to be able to look back through their history in the knowledge that the company's tradition has always been one of absolute integrity.

All the packaged goods ready to be sent are stored in large warehouses to ensure that the cotton remains intact.


Ginning Process


The ginning plant can produce 1200 cotton bales per day with a 24hrs processing capability. Production of cotton bales begins with selection of raw cotton. Selection of quality of cotton plays a crucial role in determining the quality of cotton bales being produced. Vaibhav Industries deploy 25 selectors for selecting raw material from cotton markets located all over Gujarat. The company has laid out a high benchmark for selection of cotton and a variation of more than 25% is sent for rejection.


Once the raw material is approved it is being dumped at specified location from where the cotton is being absorbed by high capacity Pneumatic suction System.


The raw material from here is sent for cleaning with two types of machines:


Pre-Cleaners
Post-Cleaners


Pre-Cleaning

Pre-clearners are cylindrical rotating system which… In pre-cleaning the cotton balls, trush, leafy materials like stick and small stones are removed from the raw cotton.


Pre-Cleaners take out the cotton seeds out of the raw material. The seeds are segregated and sent to a separate processing plant to manufacture cotton seed oil.


Post-Cleaning

Post Cleaners remove all the dust particles and impurities contain in the cotton. This cotton is now ready for ginning and Pressing.
