E. Drive Motor

The T.E.F.C. (totally enclosed, fan-cooled) drive motor

is located approximately lower center of the dryer. It sits

on an adjustable base so that the motor can be easily

adjusted to the left or right, up or down, forward or back-

ward. The drive motor is a 3/4 HP motor and operates

on 208 to 408 volts, 3Ø, 50/60 Hz.

F. Blower Motor and Impellor
(60 Hz Gas Models Only)

The blower motor is located on the back of the dryer at

the lower right-hand corner. The impellor is a backward

curved paddle wheel which is directly connected to the

shaft of the blower motor. The blower motor is a 3 HP

motor and operates on 208 to 460 volts, 3Ø, 50/60 Hz.

G. Blower Motor and Impellor
(50Hz, 60Hz Steam & 50Hz Gas)

The impellor on this design is shaft driven. The blower

motor drives the shaft on which the impellor is mounted.

This enables the impellor to run at a higher RPM, thereby

producing a higher air flow (CFM).

D. Gas Burner Assembly

Gas-heated dryers are equipped with a gas burner

assembly consisting of four (4) burner tubes, gas valve,

spark ignition probe assembly, sail switch, and hi-limit

thermostat. The inlet piping enters through the rear of

the dryer on the left-hand side (viewing from the front)

and runs to the front of the dryer where the gas valve is

located.
