Safety Circuit Standards Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for servicing equipment. Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to the design and manufacture of automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial council (JIC) are just a few of the organiz

Drying Hopper Air Trap Considerations Our exclusive air trap assembly on the top of the drying hopper prevents ambient air from contaminating the material being dried. To ensure that your unit will operate at peak efficiency, do the following: • Keep the material level at the mid point of the air trap This can be achieved by utilizing a hopper loader or vacuum conveying system to supply material to the drying system. Optional Aftercooler Water-cooled 15 and 30 cfm models use a water-to-
