Recommended Capacity
450 lbs. dry weight.
Basket
The basket shall have a volume of 165 cu. ft. and shall be constructed of 10 gauge perforated metal with 3 main and 3 secondary lifting ribs, supported by four 10” polyurethane rollers equipped with timken roller bearings and guided at each end by a total of four 5” polyurethane rollers equipped with timken roller bearings. All rollers shall be located outside of the sealed heating chamber.
Basket Doors
The basket load door shall be a minimum of 48” in diameter and shall seal to and rotate with the basket to prevent the possibility of damage to products being dried. The doors shall be operated by an air over oil mechanism for smooth opening and closing. There shall be two basket doors to provide for loading at one end and unloading at the opposite end of the basket.
Basket Drive
The basket shall be driven by v-belts around the circumference of the basket. There shall be a self-adjusting, constantly variable tension device to keep the belts properly tensioned. The belts shall be located outside of the sealed heating chamber.
Machine Tilt
The main housing shall tilt a minimum of 20º to facilitate fast and easy loading and unloading of the machine. The tilt mechanism shall consist of two 5” i.d. double-cushioned air cylinders.
Heat and Cool Down System
Heat shall be supplied by three steam/air heat exchanger coils utilizing cupro-nickel tubing and silver solder with an automatic cold air bypass. All necessary traps and valves shall be included (optional).
Heat Control
Heating and cool-down shall be PLC controlled.
Exhaust System
The exhaust blower shall be single inlet, dynamically balanced and belt-driven from a 15 hp motor to afford a minimum air flow of 9800 cfm. There shall be a device to automatically clean accumulated lint from the rotor at the beginning of each cycle.
Optional Outside Air Makeup
If specified, there shall be a means of providing makeup air directly to the burner and combustion chamber from outside the plant to prevent negative air pressure within the plant. The inlet duct shall have a minimum diameter of 26”.
Electric Motors
