3-4 Installing Floor Mount Drying Hoppers
AEC/Whitlock HE, CHE, and BCHE Mass Flow Series drying hoppers are available in many
floor mount configurations. The size and quantity of the drying hoppers determine the style of
floor stands.
1. Select an installation location with sufficient access for the dump spout, slide gate and
access door.
You can rotate the assembly 90º to fit your installation and provide a neat and efficient
installation.
2. Secure the drying hopper stand to the floor or platform using the appropriate hardware.
3-5 Making Hose Connections
Hose and/or conduit connections must be made to deliver the process air from the dehumidifying
dryer to each drying hopper and back again. The exact connections will vary depending on the
size of the system and the number of drying hoppers involved.
