15, 30, & 60 cfm Compact Dryers Chapter 3: Installation 23 of 57
; Check all companion equipment, such as the drying hopper; verify that the loading
system is ready for operation.
; Verify that all dryer electrical connections are tight.
Caution! Clean the rust-preventing oil from inside the drying hopper.
Failure to clean the hopper fouls the desiccant and voids your warranty!
; Verify that the dryer’s thermocouple is properly connected in the center of the drying
hopper’s delivery tube.
; Verify that the temperature control has been configured for your specified scale (ºF
or ºC).
Starting Up the Dryer
1. Turn on (energize) the disconnect switch in your power drop, then turn on the
disconnect switch on the dryer (3 phase only).
2. Turn the system ON/OFF switch to ON to start the dryer.
3. Close the slidegate at the bottom of the drying hopper.
Make sure that the blowers turn in the right direction.
4. Fill the drying hopper with material. Dryer performance is compromised if hopper is
not full!
5. If your dryer has a water-cooled aftercooler, make sure that sufficient cooling water
(3gpm at 85°F or lower) flows properly through the coil and that you have bled any
trapped air from the system. Make sure the aftercooler has the proper supply water
temperature.
6. Set the process set point on the temperature controller.
7. After the proper pre-drying time for the initial hopper fill has elapsed, fully open the
drying hopper slide gate.
Note: To allow proper residence time during continuous processing,
maintain the material level in the hopper at the midpoint of the air trap
assembly.
