- Ultra Low Energy Dryer
Start Up and Operation
This section will help you understand what the dryer is doing during operation from a cold start.
There are 3 concurrent operations. Heating, Vacuum and, Retention. Cold startup begins with
Preheat. Preheat only occurs before the first cycle of the dryer’s initial startup, otherwise each
cycle begins with material heating. The vacuum operation pulls and holds a vacuum on the
material for at least the Vacuum Time Set-point (or longer if material remains in the Retention
Hopper). The Retention operation holds the dried material in the Retention Hopper, blanketing
the material with hot, dry air, until the material is conveyed away.
Important:
Inspect the ULTRA dryer, verify that machine is clear of all material from all tanks,
heating hopper, Vacuum Chamber and Retention Hopper. To facilitate a Clean Out, use the
Clean Out function accessible from the home screen.

. There is a hatch
located on the upper Heating Hopper. Ensure all 3
latches are closed. Also be sure the removable
