The production you need.

The M460 can dry up to four loads per hour of terry towels*. With a 175 cu. ft.
basket, 2.8 million Btu/hr, and 13,000 cfm, this dryer will show immediate
returns through added productivity.

The M460 is an ideal match for batch, conventional, and overhead sling
conveyor operations. This dryer offers the highest possible level of flexibility,
fast drying, and safety. This model has important features – such as sprinkler
systems, computer controls, rotational sensor and lint collection systems –
as standard equipment.

Superior controls enhance productivity.

The controls are composed of two (2) basic sections:
the drying controls and the load/unload controls.

The drying controls use an industrial, reliable and
easy-to-program microprocessor. The controller uses
self-diagnostics to ensure proper operations and
signal operator of an error condition. The control
can quickly inform the operator about functions such
as load/unload positioning and spin/dwell times. Six
of the most commonly-used cycles can be entered
in either the manual timed mode or an automatic,
percentage dryness mode. The microprocessor is
capable of retaining up to 105 preprogrammed cycles.

The load/unload tilt functions are handled by a front pendant and rear panel
controls. They enable the operator to load or unload the dryer from the front
or rear safely and easily. All computer and electrical wiring is arranged within
the main control module for easy access.

The M460 control has an “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 finished. As a result,
the load is finished without wrinkles, and the possibility of spontaneous com­bustion is greatly reduced.

*Test results may vary by location.

Designed for durability.

The dryer’s capacity is assured by the 175 cu. ft. basket, which is stabilized
front to back by eight retaining wheels. The M460 standard basket is stainless
steel and features heavy-gauge basket rings. Four drive wheels – mounted
on two-inch steel shafts – rotate the basket, with a 7.5 horsepower, totally
enclosed motor.

Full insulation of basket module, both sets of doors, control panels, burner
chamber and exhaust duct (another standard feature) ensures maximum
heat efficiency, low noise levels and enhanced working conditions.

The M460 gas burner delivers an efficient 2.8 million Btu/hr. The system
achieves a 50% rate of hot air reclamation, drastically reducing energy costs.

The M460 steam-heated dryer uses an exclusive air-operated steam damper
system. The coil is constantly charged with steam and protected against
buildup with its own lint screen. Recirculation is standard on the M460,
assuring maximum heat utilization.

Built for easy maintenance.

Two large lint drawers slide out from under the basket and allow fast lint
removal. Each contains a large capacity stainless steel lint screen for
maximum collection prior to the blower fan. The screens can be cleaned
quickly without hindering production. The dryer also uses an automatic
compressed air
fan-cleaning system.

At the end of each
cycle, a powerful
blast of
compressed
air removes
particles that
might collect
and throw the
fan out of
balance or
reduce airflow
through the
dryer and cause
inefficiency or
safety issues.
