Pneumatic cover lift provides safe access for dryer cleaning
The vibrating fluid-bed dryer (photo), which is designed for fine particle drying, has an integral baghouse dust collector, and now offers an optional pneumatic cover lift that automatically raises the cover with just the push of a button. This provides easy access and allows one person to roll the dryer forward on rails, out from under the dust collector, providing easy access for inspection and cleaning. This new feature eliminates the need for an overhead crane or other costly lift system, says the company. — The Witte Co., Washington, N.J.
