Cleaning the Process Filter
Clogged filters reduce air flow and dryer efficiency. Cleaning frequency depends on how
much material you process and how dusty or full of fines it is.
1 Loosen the cover cap latches and remove
the process filter cover.
2 Remove the wing nut and washer holding the
filter in place, and pull the filter out.
CAUTION: Hot surfaces.
Always protect yourself
from hot surfaces inside
and outside the dryer and
drying hopper.

NOTE: The filter can be cleaned by using an indus-
trial vacuum for the outside and compressed air from
the inside. Follow all company and local com-
pressed air procedures.
If the filter has been used and cleaned several times,
it probably needs to be replaced with a new filter for
optimum efficiency.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection. If you use compressed air to clean the equipment, you
must wear eye protection and observe all OSHA and other safety regulations pertaining to
the use of compressed air.
IMPORTANT: Clogged fil-
ters and worn filters reduce
airflow, may be ineffective,
and will reduce dryer effi-
ciency. Replace filters with
a new filter when neces-
sary.
