B. TUMBLER (BASKET)

The tumbler (basket) is made of 14-gauge stainless steel perforated panels, five (5) stainless steel ribs, and two

(2)tumbler rings. The tumbler (basket) is a completely welded assembly so the perforated panels are not removable.

C. AIR BLOWER DRIVE SYSTEM

The impellor (fan) used in the ML-410 dryer is a 22-1/4” (56.52 cm) diameter squirrel cage impellor (fan) wheel. It spins in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction looking at the back of the blower housing.

The impellor (fan) shaft is mounted in two (2) pillow block bearings, and the shaft is driven by two (2) B-section V-belts connected to the 25 HP (18.64 kw) blower motor.

The blower motor is mounted on an adjustable base. The motor position can be easily adjusted so that proper tension can be maintained on the V-belts.

D. AIR JET SYSTEM

The Air Jet System is activated at the end of a drying cycle to clean lint accumulation off of the blower (impellor/ fan).

E.SAFETY DEVICES

1.Load/Unload Door Switches

There are two (2) of these switches located above the main loading doors. These switches ensure that the doors are closed before the dryer can start and ensures that the doors are fully open before the dryer will tilt. If the dryer is started when the load doors are open, the microprocessor controller (computer) L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will show “door.”

2.Lint Basket Switch

This switch ensures that the lint basket is closed before the dryer can start. This switch is located at the front of the dryer at the right side of the lint basket. If the lint basket is open when the dryer is started, the microprocessor controller (computer) L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will show “lint door open.”

3.Tumbler (Basket) Manual Reset Hi-Limit Safety Thermostat

This disc temperature switch has a setting of 225º F (107º C). It is located below the tumbler (basket) on the temperature sensor bracket, along side the computer (microprocessor) sensor, and is an automatic reset type switch. Access to this switch is gained by sliding/pulling the lint basket completely out of the dryer.

This switch backs up the computer (microprocessor) sensor and in case of a computer (microprocessor) malfunction will prevent the tumbler’s (basket’s) temperature from becoming excessive. If this switch trips, the gas flow to the burner boxes will be shut down; however, and the Phase 7 microprocessor controller (computer) will display “exhaust high temp fault.”
