ALPHA BATCH DRYER

The batch transfer drying tumblers are designed for the fully automatic shaking as well as pre- and full drying of water extracted linen batches. They can be operated either within a complete washing system along with water extraction presses or centri-fugal extractors, in the preset cycle of the tunnel washer or in systems with washer extractors. It is also possible to operate the dryers as an isolated application without a direct connection to other machines. The dryer design allows a space-saving mirror positioning of two -dryers, directly side by side. The dryers can be heated in different ways, steam or gas is available.

Particular attention was paid to reach the highest possible productivity at simultaneous lowest media consumption keeping a very low maintenance effort. The housing was sealed and insulated carefully in order to use the energy for the drying process in an optimal way. Loading, unloading and revision doors were designed with multiple layers in order to keep the heat losses as low as possible.

Control

Each dryer has its own switch panel with PLC control and own power supply. The operation and programming of the dryer is carried out by a separate compound control that connects all dryers with each other. A panel PC with a colour touch screen operates and visualizes the dryers and their transport conveyors, if existing. The JENSEN service helpdesk can establish a remote maintenance of the dryer control via an integrated Ethernet interface. Dryers of an isolated application are equipped with a smaller graphic operating terminal. Each dryer disposes of 100 free programmable programs.


The JENSEN dryer compound control connects all ALPHA D5 dryers with each other.
