3-4 Setup Procedures

This section provides the procedures necessary for configuring your portable

drying/conveying system.

Configuration of your unit includes checking for proper blower rotation and installing the

optional aftercooler (on 60 cfm models). We recommend that you carry out these procedures

in the order given here.

Note: Before carrying out these procedures, install all equipment

as described in this section.

Checking for Proper Blower Rotation

Three-Phase Models

Caution! In three-phase models, incorrect phasing of power leads can cause

backward rotation of blower motors and CONTAMINATION OF THE

DESICCANT!

Always check blower rotation before putting material in the drying hopper!

The blower is rotating properly when air flows from the delivery outlet.

Note: Holding your hand in front of the air return will also

indicate if the blower rotates in the proper direction (by

feeling suction).

If the three-phase blower rotates improperly, reverse any two wires at the fused disconnect

outside the dryer or at the disconnect/terminal in the control enclosure. This assures that the

blower rotates in the proper direction.

Drying Hopper Air Trap Considerations (If Equipped)

Our exclusive air trap assembly on the top of the drying hopper prevents ambient air from

contaminating the material being dried. To ensure that your unit will operate at peak

efficiency, do the following:

• Keep the material level at the mid point of the air trap

This can be achieved by utilizing a hopper loader or vacuum conveying system to

supply material to the drying system.

Installing the Optional Aftercooler

Water-cooled 15/30/60 cfm models use a water-to-air heat exchanger as an aftercooler.

Cooling water is required for this design (3 gpm at 85°F or lower). Return air from the

hopper passes through the air filter to trap fines and dust before entering the heat exchanger.

Installing Water Lines

(Hose and Hose Clamp)

When installing the water lines, ensure that the aftercooler utilizes either tower, chilled or city

water as warm as 85°F (29°C). Recommended flow rate is three (3 gpm) gallons per minute

(11 liters per minute).
