Initial Operation (For Carousel Plus Dryer HTC)1Hopper material: Fill the hopper with the material to be heated.
WARNING: Fire potential - The electric heating elements are exposed to the air
going into the hopper. It is important that there is no debris in this air stream. Under
no circumstances should the HTC be run in a dirty air stream as material passing
through the heater could ignite embers and shoot sparks into the hopper,which could
catch fire.
2Auto tuning: When the unit is fully assembled and ready for operation,it
should be tuned to the actual system that it is connected to with material in the
hopper. Follow the auto tuning procedure detailed on page 4-22 of this manual.
3Hopper residence time: The material throughput rate must be determined by
the size of the hopper,the drying time required, and the extent of drying desired
for the product (see page 4-20).
