Fast, Effective Drying

The latest-design blower-dryer
provides excellent drying with
only a five-foot-long tunnel.The
low humidity drying tunnel rapidly
removes moisture from dishes,
glasses and trays.

Safe, Fully-Automatic
Operation

BD-5 controls are interwired
with the machine controls for
convenient, fully automatic
operation. When the conveyor
stops, the automatic heating
element shutoff switch protects
ware from excess heat while
the blower continues to operate.

Energy-efficient

The BD-5 conserves heating energy by
recirculating the hot air back through the
system and using a small, energy-efficient
heating element.

Cooler Dishroom

Only a small percentage of the heated air
escapes from the BD-5 into the dishroom.
When compared to the heat loss into the
dishroom from other blower-dryers, the
Champion BD-5 provides a cooler, more
comfortable working environment and
significantly reduces the dishroom air
conditioning requirement.

Warning:

Plumbing and electrical connection should be made by qualified
personnel who will observe all the applicable plumbing, sanitary and
safety codes and the National Electrical Code.

Notes:

For blower-dryer installations, increase dishroom ventilation by 600 cfm.
Because of the variation in house-supplied steam pressure, a steam
pressure regulating valve (PRV) for incoming steam supply is needed.
The steam PRV can be purchased from Champion or obtained locally.
