6. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: After ensuring all connections are secure and safe, switch on the main power supply to the machine.
2. Load Materials: Open the hopper cover and load the plastic pellets into the hopper. Ensure the material does not exceed the maximum capacity (100kg). Close the cover securely using the snap fasteners.
3. Set Temperature: Use the intelligent temperature control system on the control panel to set the desired drying temperature. Refer to the recommended drying guide on the control panel or material specifications for appropriate settings. The system maintains temperature within ±3 degrees Celsius.
4. Start Drying: Activate the heating switch and the fan switch on the control panel. The hot air circulation will begin, and the heating tube will warm the air.
5. Monitor Process: Monitor the current temperature display on the control panel. The viewing window allows for visual inspection of the material. The system includes a high-temperature alarm for safety.
6. Drying Completion: Once the drying cycle is complete and the materials have reached the desired moisture content, switch off the heating and fan. Allow the machine to cool down before unloading.
7. Unload Materials: Open the discharge gate at the bottom of the hopper to unload the dried pellets.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your machine.

1. Daily Cleaning: After each use, ensure the hopper is empty. The barrel body and base can be separated for easy cleaning of internal residues. This prevents contamination and ensures efficient drying.
2. Heating Tube Inspection: The heating tube is designed as a bent pipe to effectively prevent dust accumulation. Periodically inspect it for any debris and clean if necessary.
3. Fan Inspection: Regularly check the copper core fan for any obstructions or unusual noises. Ensure stable operation and low noise levels.
4. Thermometer Calibration: Periodically verify the accuracy of the thermometer.
5. General Inspection: Routinely check all fasteners, electrical connections, and moving parts for wear or damage. Tighten any loose connections.
