Mounting the Dryer and Hopper on
a Processing Machine
WARNING:You are responsible for the structural integrity of this installation.
We recommend that you:
❒❒
Use bolts no smaller than 3/8 inch (M 10) when mounting the
hopper/dryer combination to the throat of a processing machine.
❒❒
Do not mount the hopper/dryer combination on a plate that swings
away or slides away from the processing machine throat. Either
remove the swing or slide plate, position the dryer on the floor, or
mount the dryer to an optional floor stand.
The dryer and hopper mount on a support frame / discharge assembly that bolts to
the throat of the processing machine, as pictured above.
CAUTION:To prevent accident and injury, lift the empty hopper and support frame
onto the throat of the processing machine using a hoist and the lifting lugs provid-
ed. After the hopper is mounted, then lift the dryer onto the support frame using a
hoist and the lifting lugs provided.
Tools for installation:
❒ Flathead screwdriver
❒ 9/16” and 1/2” wrench
❒ Hoist
NOTE: You must position the
dryer on the floor or mount it to
an optional floor stand if your
processing machine throat
requires the small discharge
assembly or a mounting plate
with less than a 3 x 3 in.
(7.6 x 7.6 cm) bolt pattern and
