VBD
- Vacuum Dryer
Start Up and Operation
This section will help you understand what the dryer is doing during operation from a cold start.
There are 3 concurrent operations. Heating, Vacuum and, Retention. Cold startup begins with
Preheat. Preheat only occurs before the first cycle of the dryer’s initial startup, otherwise each
cycle begins with material heating. The vacuum operation pulls and holds a vacuum on the
material for at least the Vacuum Time Set-point (or longer if material remains in the Retention
Hopper). The Retention operation holds the dried material in the Retention Hopper, blanketing
the material with hot, dry air, until the material is conveyed away.
Important:
Inspect the VBD, verify that machine is clear of all material from all tanks, heating
hopper, Vacuum Chamber and Retention Hopper. To facilitate a Clean Out, use the Clean Out
function accessible from the home screen.
Startup and Operation Instructions
1. ENSURE HATCH IS CLOSED
. There is a hatch
located on the upper Heating Hopper. Ensure all 3
latches are closed. Also be sure the removable
Lower Retention Hopper is in place.
2. Load material into the Upper Heating Hopper.
Wait for the Heating Hopper to fill with material before
starting the Dryer.
3. Turn on Main Power
by rotating the 60 AMP Main
Disconnect Handle to the Red ON position. This
powers up the VBD-1000 Dryer.
On initial power up of the VBD, the Control Panel
powers ON automatically. If the main power is ON
but the Control Panel is OFF, press and hold the Red
Power Button located on the Control Panel for 2
seconds. (Note: The VBD’s Control Panel can be
powered OFF without powering down the Main Power
by pressing and holding the Red Power button for 4
seconds).
