Portuguese term or phrase: algodoeira
I am translating a business plan for a larage agricultural enterprise. They produce and process cotton and I am trying to figure out if ALGODOEIRA is a cotton gin or is it a more complex/complete piece of equipment and what it's correct name would be in English.

Thanks!
