Installing the base and the legs
Attach the legs to the base and lift it onto the concrete foundation that is fitted with bond plates. Bring the base
into the level position. To ensure the proper operation of the dryer, use a water level to verify that the top surface
of the base is absolutely level before continuing the installation work.
To ensure that the unit will remain upright even if the wind strong, attach its legs by welding to the bond plates in
the concreted foundation or fix them by means of expansion anchors (4 pcs./M16). Refer to the specific assem -
bly instructions for the legs and the cross-braces, provided separately for each model.
Sections, air channel ends
The drying sections are delivered either pre-assembled or in parts. The air channel ends are not yet in place in the
ready-assembled drying sections. The air channel ends of the export model are delivered in parts. The air channel
ends can be assembled and attached to the sections while still on the ground. Provide each joint with a sealing strip.
While lifting the sections into place, make sure that they come in the right way. The inlet side of the sections shall
come on the trough-rod side of the base.
For proper operation of the dryer it is essential that the air inside the triangular channels of the sections flows in
the correct direction: the open end of the triangular channel halves shall be come on the section's inlet side (fac -
ing to the heater).
Before lifting the lowest section into place, affix self-adhesive sealing strips to the upper surfaces of the base.
Place the strip on the inner edge of the horizontal contact surfaces of the base and the section. Provide all the
joints with seals.
Use M10x20 bolts for joining together the corner reinforcement legs of the sections and the top tanks.
Refer to the specific assembly instructions for the top tanks, provided separately for each model.
NOTE! Remove the lifting lugs (501010) as soon as the sections are in place!
Top tanks and cover with handrails
The top tanks are delivered either pre-assembled or in parts. Place a sealing strip on the inner edge of the hori -
zontal contact surfaces of the top tank. Provide all the joints with seals.
Use M10x20 bolts for joining together the corner reinforcement legs of the sections and the top tanks.
The top tanks and the sections can all be joined together while still on the ground, and lifted up in one go. NOTE!
Observe the weight.
