3.6 Connecting the return air cooler
(optional)
The return air cooler is preferably connected to a
cooling water system with supply and return. The
cooling water network must be designed to suit the
entire cooling capacity.
INFORMATION!
The return air cooler is always required if

the return air temperature permanetly
exceeds 85°C or 185°F.
The return air cooler increases the efficiency of the

drying agent (desiccant), so that a return air cooler
may be practical even with lower return air tem-
perature.
3.7 Installation of the integrated

BS/6 - system
To prevent damage to machines, systems and
injury to people, only people authorized to perform
installation and start-up tasks should do so.
The MASTER loader of the BS/6 loading system
should be located on the hopper closest to the dry-
air generator model DRYMAX.
Ensure that the BS/6 loader devices are configured
with the necessary jumpers (see training manual
FEEDMAX BS/6).
Our trained installers would be glad to assist you
with your tasks.

The segment wheel dryer provides the required

drying medium (process air) required for the drying
process.
The DRYMAX consists essentially of a filter, a
blower and the drying wheel.

The air from the hopper (1) is put into the dryer via
the return air filter (3). Through the blower (4) the
damp, cold air enters the drying wheel (5). It is
dehumidified and through the process air (7), the
air flows back to the hopper heater, where the
process air (7) heated up to 130°C / 266°F (180°C
/ 356°F at high heat option) and will come back
into the hopper. Here, the warmed and dried air is
distributed by a conical air distributor optimally
routed through the hopper and the granulate is
dired. The rising moist air will return again to the
return air (2) and re-enters the circulation.

In practice the following procedure is recommend-
ed for setting the threshold value 'MSF set'. Initially
set the threshold value 'MSF set' to maximum
(85°C or 185°F). Run the device under normal
production conditions (no machine stop-page).
After approximately 2 hours of production a typical
return air temperature will have been established
(the return air temperature can be queried in the
Menu 5). Set the threshold value 'MSF set' approx-
imately 10°C or 18°F above the return air tempera-
ture.

Setting material charge on the suction wand
Included with the FEEDMAX device is a suction
pipe (a). Depending on the design of the suction
pipe, air adjustment is set by moving material hose
up or down (a), turning adjusting ring (b) or moving
inner pipe in or out (c).
