Hopper Installation Guide
Installing the Hopper Door, Upper, and
Lid Sections
IMPORTANT:
Before installing
the hopper door, upper (if applicable), and lid
sections of the hopper,
careful consideration should be given to the following:
•
When installing the hopper door section, make sure the hopper door is positioned to
allow easy access into the hopper to aid in installation and to facilitate hopper
cleaning and maintenance in the future.
•
When installing the hopper lid section, make sure to identify the location of the
hopper’s return air outlet. The lid section has multiple piping options that can be
connected to an optional cyclone or traditional hopper outlet, then to an optional dust
collector and finally to the dryer’s return air inlet. Consider all piping/ hosing
possibilities when installing the dryer, heater (gas or electric), optional dust collector
and optional cyclone before making the installation permanent.
Hopper Door Section
To install the hopper door section:
1
Apply strip and stick gasket around the flange on the top of the cone section.
NOTE:
The strip and stick gasket is supplied with the hopper.
NOTE:
Thoroughly clean all flanges with alcohol or similar product before installing the
strip and stick gasket.
2
Using a forklift, hoist or crane, lift the hopper door section assembly above the
cone section.
CAUTION:
To prevent accident and injury, lift the hopper door section onto
the cone section using a forklift, hoist or crane.
NOTE:
When applying the strip
and stick gasketing material,
do not cover the holes in the
cone section flange. Apply the
strip and stick gasketing
material around the holes so
you will have a good seal but
not interfere with the mounting
hardware that will be used to
secure the hopper door section
to the cone section.
