Note:
For installations with longer lengths of piping and/or more bends, 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.
Each machine should preferably have an independent steam outlet. If this is not possible:
•
Always make connections in Y. Never in T.
•
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 (200 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.
