Compressed Air Supply Connection
The unit requires a compressed air supply
to drive certain parts of the machine and direct
the laydown of the flatwork onto the discharge
conveyor.
The air must be clean and dry to assure proper
operation and long service life of the pneumatic
components. Also, the air will come into direct
contact with the flatwork.
The compressed air supply must meet the
pressure and airflow requirements noted in the
APPENDIX,
