Operating the Dryer
Our dryers are capable of operating in heavy industrial to
clean room environments with no significant loss in
performance. In order to maintain this high level of
performance, the operator should take the following steps:
Hopper Maintenance/Material Control
1. In order to ensure that material is sufficiently dried;
a. The material hopper should be kept filled to a constant,
predetermined level to allow sufficient dwell time in the
hopper to dry the material
b. To ensure proper air flow through the hopper, always
keep the level of material above the spreader cone on
the diffuser basket, ensuring that it is completely
covered.
c. Routinely clean the hopper and diffuser basket by
removing the spreader cone assembly and blowing the
basket and hopper out with compressed air.
d. Do not overfill the hopper, blocking the exhaust port at the
top.
Filter Maintenance
1. Routinely remove and clean the filter element by blowing it
out with compressed air. DO NOT OPERATE DRYER
WITHOUT FILTER ELEMENT INSTALLED.
