NEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous location. NEVER operate, service, or adjust the dryer without appropriate training and first reading and understanding this manual. NEVER try to pull material out of the dryer with your hands while it is running! Before you start the dehumidifying dryer, check the following: • Remove all tools from the dryer; • Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars) are laying in the area; If your dryer has been inoperat

If you need to repair a large component, use appropriate handling equipment. Before you use handling equipment (portable “A” frames, electric boom trucks, fork trucks, overhead cranes) be sure the load does not exceed the capacity of the handling equipment or cause it to become unstable. Carefully test the condition of lifting cables, chains, ropes, slings, and hooks before using them to lift a load. Be sure that all non-current carrying parts are correctly connected to earth ground with

Chapter 2: General Information 2-1 Models Covered This manual provides instructions for installing and operating 90, 100, 150, and 225 CFM cabinet-style dehumidifying dryers. 2-2 Equipment Function Our dehumidifying dryers are designed to generate heated, dehumidified air at carefully controlled temperatures for use in closed-loop plastic drying systems. Moisture removal from hygroscopic (moisture attracting) plastic pellets is an essential step in the manufacture of high- quality plas

Audible/visual critical alarm. Fusing for blowers and heaters. Dirty Filter indicator for each individual blower. 2-6 The Closed Loop Drying System Dehumidifying dryers force hot, dry air through the resin in the drying hopper where the air picks up moisture from the material and is drawn back to the dryer. In the dryer, a desiccant bed strips moisture from the air. The dryer then re-heats dried process air, and sends it back into the drying hopper to dry material again. This syst

2-7 What is Desiccant? Desiccant is a material which attracts and holds (absorbs) water from the air. Our dehumidifying dryers use a synthetic crystalline metal aluminosilicate desiccant blended with a clay binder and formed beads. Absorbed water is driven from saturated desiccant by heating it to a high temperature (reducing desiccant capacity to hold water) and forcing air through it. This moisture removal process is called regeneration. 2-8 The Process/Regeneration Cycle Our dehumidif

3-5 Process Air Connections Between the Dryer and Drying Hopper Remove the cap plugs from the inlet, discharge and bleed tubes before operation. Use high-temperature flexible dryer hose to connect the dryer to the drying hopper. Keep the delivery hose as short as possible to minimize heat loss. Insulated dryer hose is available for maximum energy savings. Do not shorten the return hose. Make sure the hoses are not kinked. Drying hopper air inlet and outlet locations vary from one d

4-2 Process Air Dew Point Display The Dew Point display indicates the current process air delivery moisture content. The display uses a microprocessor-based controller for reading dew point air temperature. The controller is a modular, self-contained removable unit in the mounting housing. All parameters are factory-set and adjusted; no field adjustment to the internal controls is necessary. The high dew point alarm is also factory adjusted. 4-3 Process Air Temperature Controller Our dehu
