Idler Assembly | American Dryer Corp ML-170, ML-145 instruction

G. BLOWER MOTOR and IMPELLOR (GAS and STEAM)

The impellor is shaft driven. The blower motor drives the shaft on which the impellor is mounted. This enables the impellor to run at a higher RPM, thereby producing a higher airflow. (CFM).

H. IDLER ASSEMBLY

(Viewing from the rear of the dryer.)

The idler assembly is located approximately on the lower center of the dryer. The idler assembly consists of two (2) idler pulleys, the small and large pulleys. The idler’s main purpose is to reduce the speed and increase torque provided to the tumbler (basket) bearing. Also, at the idler assembly, belt tension can be adjusted.

I. TUMBLER (BASKET) BEARING and PULLEY ARRANGEMENT

The tumbler (basket) bearing and pulley arrangement is located (viewing from the rear of the dryer) approximately at the upper center of the dryer. The arrangement consists of a pulley and two (2) bearings which serve to drive, adjust, and support the tumbler (basket).
