Milnor 50040 User Manual

The right sizes

These dryers can be used with washer-extractors or with tunnel washers. Basket

volumes available are 45.5 cu. ft. (1287 L), 108 cu. ft. (3058 L) and 170 cu. ft. (4800 L).

They’re ideal for loads ranging from 110 lbs. (50 kg) to 550 lbs. (250 kg).

Why they save time and energy

• Goods circulate freely – as they dry, they move to the upper end; 45.5 – 170 cu. ft.

(1287 – 4800 L) cylinder enhances movement of hot air through the load.

• Huge open area – with about 65% of the perforated side sheet open, hot air flows

easily through the basket.

• Patented long-life seal – keeps air flowing through the goods, without escaping

around the outside of the basket.

• Fixed tilt – places the heaviest goods, which are wettest, nearest heat entry.

• Fast unloading – no need to wait for mechanized tilting or operator attention, as

the basket is always tilted toward the unload end.

Unique air path means a Milnor dryer gets the
most efficient use of hot air. These design features

are not found on other dryers.

Efficiency is long-term

Most dryers are efficient when new. Milnor dryers stay
that way. Milnor maintains proper hot airflow with a
low-friction seal that rides on a polished band. This is
possible because the seal is placed circumferentially,
not front-to-back as with competitive dryers.
Because competitive seals are abraded by the reverse
side of the basket perforations – the “cheese grater”
effect – they tend to wear out quickly. This lets air
escape around the outside of the basket, wasting
energy and time.

Insulation helps prevent heat loss, too (and improves
the work environment).

They boost productivity

Fast cycles mean more output. And so does fast
turnaround from one load to another. Milnor
conveyors and shuttles allow automated loading
when the dryer is ready, without operator attention.
This minimizes delays. Or, if you prefer, sling
loading can be employed (the fixed tilt helps goods
fall to the back). Gravity unloading is automatic,
without an attendant, and there are no delays for
hydraulic tilting. Pass-through design is ideal for
streamlined workflow.

Efficient,
space-saving design

An innovative, “mirror-mount” design feature
allows two dryers to install side-by-side. The
dryers can be ordered with motors and controls
mounted on either side of the unit, moving
service points to easily accessible areas. This
compactness makes good use of floor space.
