Hopper Extensions; Adjustable Diffuser Cone Positioning - NovaTec NovaWheel NWDC Series Instruction Manual

2.7 Hopper Extensions

If you ordered a hopper extension, it will be a bolt-on type. The extension will be
installed at the factory if the overall height of the unit fits into a standard height truck
for shipping. If the unit is too tall for the extension to be factory-mounted, it will be
shipped in a separate container and must be installed at the processor's plant.
Use bolts supplied to
mount the extension to
the top of the hopper.

2.8 Adjustable Diffuser Cone Positioning

IMPORTANT FOR PROPER DRYING
We have found that processors can improve the
efficiency of their drying process by adjusting the
position of the diffuser cone as described below.
The diffuser cone should be placed in
the lower position (shown) when drying
virgin resin or resin with a low
percentage of regrind.
When drying resin with a high % of
regrind, spread the clip, raise the cone
and place the clip through the lower set
of holes.
You are now ready to start the dryer.
See QuickCard attached to dryer.
