COMPONENT SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS

A. TUMBLER (BASKET) SUPPORT and DRIVE SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: Always keep the tumbler (basket) section of the dryer in an upright position when

moving it.

1. Tumbler (Basket)

The tumbler (basket) is made of five (5) 14-gauge stainless steel perforated panels, five (5) stainless steel

lifting ribs, and two (2) outer tumbler (basket) rings. The tumbler (basket) is a completely welded assembly

so the perforated panels are not removable.

2. Tumbler (Basket) Support System

The tumbler (basket) sits on four (4) 11-inch (28 cm) diameter heavy-duty rubber roller wheels which

supports and drives the tumbler (basket). The steel hubs are fastened to the 2-inch (5.08 cm) diameter drive

shafts by taper lock bushings. Each drive shaft is supported by two (2) 2-inch (5.08 cm) diameter heavy

duty roller bearings. The position of the tumbler (basket) is adjusted by moving these bearings in or out with

the four (4) bearings adjustment bolts.
