INFORMATION!
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.

ture.
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.
