Lint Bucket; Drum Wrapper And Drum Ends; Inlet Bearing; Outlet Bearing - Fisher & Paykel Aerosmart DE27CW1 Product Information

Lint Bucket

The lint bucket is made from 2 parts.
The lower part is clear polycarbonate, to allow the user
to see the lint and how full the bucket is.
The handle is made from ABS. It is shaped so it is easy
to hold but doesn't protrude too far into the drum.

Drum Wrapper and Drum Ends

The drum wrapper and drum ends are made from stainless
steel so they retain their appearance. The key benefit of using
stainless steel is it won't rust, it's very durable and very
hygienic.

Inlet Bearing

This bearing has to operate in high temperatures as
it is in the warm inlet air stream. For this reason it
is a spherical sintered bearing filled with oil and
graphite. This special oil is designed to withstand
heat extremes.
The bearing turns on a cylindrical shaft, which is
bolted to the inlet duct. The bearing is able to move
inside the housing that's attached to the drum end
and enables it to cope with any misalignments.
The inlet bearing supports the drum and enables it to turn on the shaft. It is also
conductive so that static can flow to earth. The bearing also has a two cups that act as
shields to keep any sand or grit that enters the dryer out of the bearing.

Outlet Bearing

On the outlet side we can't have a center bearing because of the lint collector. In this
case there are a series of pads which are made from a special plastic. The drum flange
slides on these bearing pads.
