•
Always make connections in Y. Never in T.
•
A non-return valve
MUST
be mounted for each of the machines before reaching the collector
pipe.
•
Increase the area before the connection so that the final area is equal to the sum of the two
previous areas.
IMPORTANT
•
To extract the steam, do NOT use plastic or aluminium paper hoses. We recommend a rigid
metal pipe. The diameter is Ø8 in (Ø203.2 mm)
•
Check that the existing installation in the premises is clean and does not contain fluff from
other dryers.
•
Use the fewest possible number of L-bends.
•
To join the different L-bends and pipes, use aluminium paper adhesive tape. Avoid fastening
these with sheet screws as this will result in a build-up of fluff on the interior.
•
The pipe, as it passes to the exterior or through cold zones, should be insulated to avoid
condensation as this would result in a build-up of fluff on the inner walls of the pipe.
The output pipe should be as short as possible. It is advisable that it has a slope of 2% in the direction
to the outside in the horizontal sections, to prevent condensation from returning to the machine.
Note:
For installations with longer lengths of piping and/or more bends, or in case of doubt, please
refer to the technical service. It may be necessary to enlarge the diameter of the piping or even to
install an auxiliary vacuum in the installation.
