Per Hour

Productivity is the benchmark by which
all large tumblers are measured. The AD­464 can dry up to four loads per hour of
terry towels*. With its 175 cu. ft. basket,

2.8 million Btu/hr, and 13,000 cfm, this
performer will show immediate returns
through added productivity.

We manufacture the AD-464 as an “all­inclusive” machine. ADC incorporates
as standard every feature necessary
for proper operation. Our competitors
prefer to oer their machines as stripped
down. They add important features,
such as, sprinkler systems**, computer
controls, insulation, rotational sensors,
and even lint collection systems as
expensiveoptions.

The AD-464 is an industrial grade dryer
suited to batch, conventional, and
overhead sling conveyor operations. ADC
oers the laundry manager the highest
possible level of exibility, fast drying,
andsafety.

The AD-464 is constructed and can be
shipped in two (2) or four (4) modules,
easily integrated at the installation
site using simple, military spec, quick­connectplugs.

* Test results may vary by location. In-house test results are

available upon request

** Sprinkler system standard on ADC steam model.

The AD-464 controls
are composed of two

the drying controls
and the load/unload
controls. At the heart
of the drying controls
is an industrial grade
highly reliable, easy­to-program computer.

(programmable logic
controller) maintains a
complete array of self­diagnostics throughout

in the manual timed mode or our patented
automatic, percentage dryness mode.

A true 460-lb. capacity is assured by the 175
cu. ft. basket, which is stabilized front to back
by eight (8) retaining wheels. The AD-464
dryer’s standard basket is stainless steel and
is machined to assure that the heavy-gauge
basket rings are true in diameter and atness.
The basket is rotated by 11-inch diameter drive
wheels mounted on 2-inch steel shafts which are
powered by a 7-1/2 hp totally enclosed motor.

The entire basket module, both sets of doors,
all control panels, burner chamber, and exhaust
duct come fully insulated as standard to ensure
maximum heat eciency and noise suppression.

The load/unload functions are handled by
front and rear panel controls. An optional front
pendant is available. They are designed to enable
to operator to load or unload the dryer from
the front or rear safely and easily. In general, the
AD-464 PLC oversees the proper running of all
functions, such as, drying cycles, load/unload, lint
collection and air recirculation. As a benet to
the service technician, all computer and electrical
wiring is neatly arranged within the main control
module for easy access.

The AD-464 PLC has our unique “anti-wrinkle”
feature already programmed into each cycle.
With “anti-wrinkle,” the dryer is programmed
to tumble without heat should the attendant
not be aware that the cycle is nished. As a
result, the load is nished without wrinkles, and
the possibility of spontaneous combustion is
greatlyreduced.

An impressive drying time and nish is achieved
by coupling a 25 hp totally enclosed blower
motor which moves 13,000 cfm of air with our
energy-saving air recirculation system. As soon
as a pilot ame is established, the pneumatic air
reclaimer goes to work and stays in operation
during the entire heating cycle. Our system
achieves a 17% rate of hot air reclamation,
thereby drastically reducing energy costs.

Fan Cleaning

The ADG-464 gas burner delivers an
ecient 2.8 million Btu/hr. It is controlled
via the PLC by a burner control module
that ensures that all safety checks have
been adequately satised. Once the spark
ignition system establishes a pilot ame,
the heat reclaimer is activated, and the
gas valves begin operating to maintain
the ame. As a safety precaution, we
have designed our gas valve system
to prevent sudden surges of gas into
the burner. When ready, the rst of two
(2) motorized valves open. Once fully
opened, the second does the same.

Lint Drawers

Of utmost importance to any dryer,
but especially to one of the high­capacity class, is the extraction of lint.

Only ADC incorporates an automatic
compressed air fan cleaning system.
Some dryers require that their fans
be cleaned on a daily basis; others
require multiple cleanings per day. ADC
lters the exhaust air prior to the fan,
eliminating almost all debris that would
collect on the fan. At the end of each
cycle, a powerful blast of compressed
air removes any tiny particles that might
collect and throw the fan out of balance
or reduce airow through the dryer and
cause ineciency or possibly a re.

Steam-Heated Dryer

For the industrial steam laundry
operation, we oer the ADS-464 which
incorporates the exclusive ADC air­operated steam damper system. This
system greatly extends the life of
the rugged coil since it is constantly
charged with steam. To protect against
lint buildup at the coil, it is protected
with its own lint screen. This damper
system also provides the dryer with
an instant source of heat, as well as
cool down. Our recirculation package
is standard on the ADS-464; thus,
maximum heat utilization is assured.

Standard on the AD-464 for lint
removal are two lint drawers located
directly under the basket and accessed
from the left side of the dryer (when
viewed from the front of the dryer).
