ULTRA By Maguire
- 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.
Startup and Operation Instructions
1. ENSURE HATCHES ARE CLOSED
. Ensure that all the
latches are properly closed on both the heating hopper
door and vacuum chamber access hatch. Also, make
sure that the removable retention hopper is in place and
that the load cells are properly engaged.
2. Load material into the Upper Heating Hopper.
Wait
for the Heating Hopper to fill with material before starting
the Dryer.
3. Turn on Main Power
by rotating the 60 AMP Main
Disconnect Handle to the Red ON position. This powers
up the ULTRA-600 Dryer.
