1. SAFETY

Read this manual before using or installing the dryer.

Keep this manual in a safe place for use in subsequent configurations.
This manual must be handed over with the machine if it is sold to somebody else.
Only use the machine for professional drying of textile fibres after washing in water. If a smell
of gas is detected:
o Close the main gas supply and ventilate the room.
o Do not turn on any lights or connect any electrical device.
o Do not use the telephone in the room.
Do not leave petrol or other inflammable liquids or gases near to the dryer.

Do not dry products that have been treated or that give off inflammable vapours or elements.
Always bear in mind the instructions described on the labels of the materials to be dried. Do not
leave the dryer operating unattended.
Do not allow fluff, dust or dirt to build up around the machine. Do not spray
the dryer with water.
Stopping the dryer before it finishes the cycle is not recommended due to the risk of
spontaneous combustion.

Removing the load as soon as the cycle has ended is recommended, as this reduces the risk
of spontaneous combustion.

The risk of burning yourself exists when you remove the load before the cycle has ended, if a
high drying temperature has been selected.
If the power supply is interrupted, it is advisable to open the dryer's door to prevent the
spontaneous combustion of the load.

Maintenance and installation can only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Close or disconnect all the power supplies of the machine at the end of each working day and
before removing any protective cover either for cleaning, maintenance or tests.

It is advisable to install flanges with flexible material to prevent air vibration from causing too
much noise in the facility.

A gas machine should not be used in premises where PER (Perchloroethylene) is used as a
solvent, as contact with flames produces toxic and corrosive gases.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make future modifications without prior warning.

2.1. Components

Time control (analogue model):

It is activated from the outside and is adjustable from 0 to 60 minutes. This control consists of
two regulation phases which are:
Drying duration.
Cool-Down duration (last 6 min.)

Temperature control (analogue model):

A thermostat, activated from the outside, keeps the temperature constant inside the dryer.
It is adjustable from 0 to 90 ºC to work with the optimum temperature for each type of
fabric.

58

Machine control (digital model):

The machine is controlled using an electronic microprocessor able to control the activation
and deactivation of each system. Communication with the user is carried out using a keypad,
with a display on the front top part of the machine. The microprocessor has 9 programmes in
it that the user can edit.

A digital temperature probe, located in the bottom of the drum is used to keep the temperature
constant inside the dryer. The required temperature is regulated using the aforementioned
electronic control and allows us to change values from 0 to 95 ºC, to work with the optimum
temperature for each type of fabric.
 The probe sends a signal to the electronic plate and the latter activates or deactivates the
heating part.
Time control is internally carried out in the microprocessor.

The anti-crease cycle is automatically activated at the end of each cycle (Drying + Cool-Down).
The microprocessor has some signals incorporated that indicate the need for cleaning the filter.

Heating:

The heating system may be electric, gas or thermal fluid (steam or thermal oil). The heating
battery is located in the top of the machine.

Fluff filter:

This is accessed directly by opening the drawer in the middle part of the dryer, just below the door
for loading and unloading the clothes. It is designed to separate fluff and possible solid materials
that come off the dried material, so that they do not enter the propeller of the extraction fan. The
fluff accumulates in the filter.
The drawer has two catches that should be pressed together at the same time in order to release
the drawer. These catches also serve as handles and once the drawer has been released, pull
the catches outwards until reaching the limit. The drawer is fitted with telescopic guides to allow it
to be pulled out far enough so that the filter is totally accessible.

59
The filter is made of stainless steel mesh for a longer life. The filter should be cleaned with a
brush that is not made with metal or hard bristles. Protective gloves should be worn if cleaning the
filter directly by hand.

It is advisable to clean the filter every 4 or 5 hours of operation. See chapter 9, Maintenance.
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DRYER LARGELY DEPENDS ON GOOD
MAINTENANCE (CLEANING) OF THESE ELEMENTS

Install the machine according to current regulations

3.1. Position.
3.1.1. Transport and storage.

The machine must be transported always on its pallet and original packaging to guarantee its
integrity. Transport the machine to the definitive work place.

Remove the packaging and make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In no
event install or keep the dryer outdoors.
If the machine has to be stored for a long time, cover it with its original packaging to protect it
from external agents and keep it in the optimum environmental conditions. It is also
recommended to disconnect it from the electricity, steam or gas supply network.

3.1.2. Location.

Install the machine in a big room to obtain efficient work conditions and to guarantee the
sufficient ease of movement of the workers using the machine.

The definitive position of the machine must allow its correct use. The distances indicated on
the following drawing must be observed to allow correct maintenance by authorised staff.
 Minimum operating space. 1.50 m at the front, and rest according to diagram.

62

Once placed in its final working place, extract the two wooden skids which is secured to the dryer by
the bottom of the base 4 M10x70 screws are situated 12cm from the ends. See procedure in the
following images. After removing the skates, lower the machine and level using the leveling feet
(see next "Leveling" section). Save skates with original packing for possible future movements. Do
not push the machine or an overcome obstacle without skates, the machine is in danger of
deformation and malfunction.

The drum does not have anchorages for transport.

3.2. Air extraction

3.2.1. Fresh air inlet

To obtain an optimum performance and make drying cycles as short as possible, make
sure that fresh air enters from outside the room.
It is advisable that the fresh air inlet be behind the dryer.

The fresh air inlet section must be at least 4 times bigger than the air outlet tube section.

Note: The fresh air inlet section is equal to the section through which the air can flow without
resistance due to the bars or grille installed in the inlet. Take into account that the bars or grille
can often represent a big part of the inlet section.

3.2.2. Outlet pipe

Moist air must be channelled to the outside using the connection of a pipe with a net
diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the steam outlet tube, located on the bottom
back part of the machine. The extraction air must be taken to the outside of the work place
and must never be connected to other chimneys already in use that extract smoke from other
fuels.

The location of these conduits must be under the limits established in environmental thermal
legislation. A tube made in temperature resistant material must be used (150 ºC). Never leave the
tube very near inflammable materials or materials susceptible to deformation from excessive
temperatures.

The tube must be smooth inside. It is important that there are no elements in the way of the air
path or that might accumulate fluff (bolts, rivets...). Systems for the periodic inspection and
cleaning of the conduits must be foreseen.
It is advisable that the outlet pipe be as long as possible. It is advisable that this does not exceed
8 metres and 2 elbows at 90º and that it has a slope of 2% in the direction to the outside in the
horizontal sections, to prevent condensation from returning to the machine.

65
Note: For facilities with more linear metres of pipeline and/or more elbows consult the
technical service. It may be necessary to increase the diameter of the pipeline or even install
in the facility an auxiliary vacuum.

It is preferable for each machine to have its own separate steam outlet. If this is not possible:

It is COMPULSORY to install a check valve for each of the machines before reaching the
head pipe.

Connections always in Y, never in T.

Increase the section before connection so that the final section is the sum of the two
previous ones.

IMPORTANT: Some fresh air inlets must be foreseen in the room to allow the inlet of the
volume of air that has to be extracted (see section 3.2.1).
 A table is included below where the equivalent diameter necessary can be consulted when
connecting several dryers to one common steam outlet and the minimum fresh air inlet area (see
section 3.2.1):

 3.3. Electrical connection

Make sure that the characteristics of the available power supply correspond to those of your
dryer, indicated on its identification plate, and that the cable section and other line accessories
can supply the necessary power.

The machine leaves the factor with the complete electrical installation, and therefore you will
only have to remove the cover on the back of the dryer and connect each of the terminals to the
three phases L1, L2, L3 and neutral N to the terminals of the general switch.

It is COMPULSORY to insert a circuit breaker and differential switch between the wiring and the
mains, and the sensitivity of the differential switch must be 300 mA. Higher sensitivity, for
example 30 mA, common in domestic installations may cause operating anomalies in the
machine.

Connect the three phases, neutral in the general switch and the protection cable to earth on the
electrical components panel according to the following table (section in mm2).

Correct earthing is essential to guarantee the safety of users and correct

operation.

3.4. Connection to gas (only gas models)

69
The dryers have an inlet at 3/4". All the gas models are designed to work with propane gas (LPG)
or natural gas (see the appliance's specifications plate).

Note: The dryer is configured to operate with a burner pressure and gas in accordance with the
one that is indicated on the specifications plate. Check that the type of gas and pressure value in
the burner correspond to the specifications plate. If not, consult the supplier.

Do not connect a tube with an inner diameter less than that required for the machine.

Install a pressure regulator (only for LPG), a manual valve and a gas filter in front of the machine.
Make sure that the dirt does not enter the valve during connection.

Carry out a drip test with soapy water or a special product designed for this to check the water
tightness of the assembly.

For LPG propane gas (G31) regulator with 37 mbar of supply pressure and 10 kg/h of
minimum flow.

For natural gas (G20) without regulator, directly connect to the line (20 mbar) and install a manual
valve.

The dryer can be delivered from origin with 5.1 mm injectors regulated at a burner pressure of 8
mbar to operate with natural gas or delivered with 2.8 mm injectors regulated at a pressure of 26
mbar to operate with propane gas.

The dryer has spare injectors and a new specifications plate if installing the appliance to operate
with a different group of gas were to be necessary, allowing installing the machine in many
countries with the main fuels.

In the following table you can consult for each type of gas and in different countries the diameter
of the injector and burner pressure adequate for operating correctly.

3.6. Steam connection (Only steam models)

The installation of the dryer with steam heating (powered at high or low steam pressure), must
meet current standard regulations.
The dryers normally work at pressures ranging from 600 KPa to 900 KPa. Check the pressure
on the CE plate and connect the correct operating pressure.
The location of the steam input is shown in the figures given in section 3.9.
 The steam installation must be made such that the steam reaches the machine in optimum
conditions. Without condensation and free of impurities.
The manual shut-off valve should be installed at the input to the machine for maintenance
purposes. A filter should also be fitted.
Some instructions with regard to the steam installation:
The main pipe must have a negative slope of 1%.
The connection between the main pipe and the bypass should be in the upper
part of the principal line.
The bypass pipe to the machine shall have a negative slope and it must not be
possible for condensation to build up in any of the syphons.

74

The following components must be installed at the condensation output. To help in the
installation the codes are given for two leading makes in the market;

3.7. Connection of thermal oil (only for thermal oil models)

The installation of the dryer with thermal oil heating must comply with current standard
regulations.

The customer must connect the thermal oil to the machine to the foreseen connection through a
valve (we recommend a 3-way valve to favour oil circulation in the facility, with a bypass to the
machine when thermal oil supply is not necessary).

The machine supplies a signal of 230V active when an inlet of oil is required.
The measurements of the power supply and evacuation valve must correspond to the adequate,
flow and pressure and temperature according to the machine's specifications. The diameter must
not be smaller than the inlet and outlet flanges of the dryer.

Tumble dryers batteries normally work with thermal fluid flows ranging from 7 m3/h for the S-900
and 10 m3/h. for the S-1200 and S-1500, and an inlet temperature of around 180 ºC.

7. RESIDUAL HUMIDITY CONTROL (Optional)

Humidity control is a system, which automatically adjusts the length of the drying cycle to
the of fabric and load, thus guaranteeing optimum levels of operation in terms of time and energy
consumption.

The humidity probe monitors the relative humidity value and when it reaches the
setting defined by the user, the microprocessor stops the drying cycle and switches to
Cooldown, to gradually cool the clothes.

The preset microprocessor programmes have relative humidity values set as default,
see table in chapter 6.

To change the relative humidity values indicated in the preset programmes, press
“SELECT” and increase or decrease using the keypad arrows. If you want to change the preset
values in a programme, edit the humidity value in the required programme as indicated in
chapter 6.

The relative humidity levels at which the clothes are considered to be dry range
between 15 – 35% RH depending on various parameters. We recommend that the user
establishes the most appropriate level for their required use.

7.1. Intelligent dry

Humidity control includes the standard intelligent dry system that consists of looking for
the drum rotation speed to make the dryer extract at each moment of the drying cycle the
maximum amount of water achieving in this way the drying time and therefore achieving a
better performance.

When the humidity control option is selected, the Intel Dry option is automatically
activated.

When Intel Dry is active, the time between each rotation reversal (rotation cycle) is fixed
and cannot be changed. This value corresponds to the minimum time needed to carry out the
speed adaptation process which takes 75 seconds.

The speed adaptation process consists of an exploration phase and a positioning phase.

During the exploration phase, the microprocessor will try 7 different speeds that will go
from lower to higher. For each speed the microprocessor will memorise the humidity detected
in the air extracted.

Immediately after, the positioning phase starts where the microprocessor has
memorised the speed where the humidity value has been the highest. The dryer's drum will
rotate at that speed until the next speed adaptation process starts.

The speed adaptation processes will be repeated in the following way during the
drying cycle:

91
 No speed adaptation process will take place during the first rotation cycle, but it will take place
during the second cycle. During the third and fourth no, during the fifth yes, during the sixth and
seventh no, during the eighth yes, and so on.

8. ADVANCED USER

The configuration of some of the original dryer parameters can be adjusted in the advanced user
menu. It is also possible to manually adjust the drum rotation speed. The parameters that can be
adjusted in the advanced user menu are as follows:

8.1. Intelligent dry (only if it has humidity control)

The intelligent dry system is fitted as standard in the humidity control. Therefore, if the dryer has
humidity control, the appliance runs its drying cycles using the INTELLIGENT DRY system by
default. If the user wishes to use the dryer with the humidity control but without the intelligent dry

system, it is possible to deactivate it. Use the INC ( ) y DEC ( ) keys to move the cursor from YES
to NO or vice-versa, and the SELECT key to confirm the modification and go to the next option.

93
 INTELLIGENT DRY

YES / NO

8.2. Recirculating air

(only if there is an air recirculation system) This will also appear as an option on
this menu only if it is a dryer from the GREEN-LINE series. The appliance has been equipped with
an air recirculation system that thanks to the built-in microprocessor and the variable position hatch
it is possible to manage the air flow that is going to recirculate. There are four possible modes for
controlling this air flow. Use the INC ( ) y DEC ( ) keys to move the cursor from AUTO to HIGH or
MEDIUM or LOW, and the SELECT key to confirm the modification and move to the next option.

RECIRCULATING AIR

AUTO

HIGH MEDIUM LOW

The recommended option is AUTO, which is the intelligent option, designed to determine the optimal
air flow at which the air should recirculate at any moment in order to ensure maximum water
extraction in the shortest possible time.

The HIGH option permits the maximum opening of the gate, thus obtaining the maximum possible
flow of recirculated air. The position of the gate does not change during the cycle.

The MEDIUM option limits the opening of the gate to an intermediate level thus obtaining a
moderate flow of recirculated air. The position of the gate does not change during the cycle.

The LOW option limits the opening of the gate to a low level thus obtaining a low flow of
recirculated air. The position of the gate does not change during the cycle.

8.3. PAUSE TIME

The dryer is fitted with drum rotation reversal as standard. It is necessary for the drum to stop
before starting to rotate in the opposite direction. The PAUSE TIME parameter defines the time that
the drum stops for during the drum rotation reversal process. The value is given in seconds. To

94
modify the value shown on the screen, use the INC ( ) and DEC ( ) keys to increase or decrease
this parameter and the SELECT key to confirm the change and go to the next option. The default
setting of this parameter is 1 second.

PAUSE TIME

01

8.4. PAUSE TEMP

The PAUSE TIME parameter defined above is only effective when the programmed temperature
is less than a certain value. This value is the PAUSE TEMP value and is given in ºC. Therefore, when
the temperature selected in the corresponding programme is lower than the value defined in PAUSE
TEMP, the drum rotation pauses during the rotation reversal for the time period defined in the PAUSE
TIME parameter. To modify the value shown on the screen, use the INC ( ) and DEC ( ) keys to
increase or decrease this parameter and the SELECT key to confirm the change and go to the next
option. The default setting of this parameter is 40 ºC.

PAUSE TEMP

40

8.5. Drum speed

If the appliance is programmed to run drying cycles without humidity control, HUMIDITY
CONTROL (NO) or to omit the intelligent dry system, INTELLIGENT DRY (NO), this option is
displayed and allows the advanced user to adjust the drum rotation speed. The selected speed is
fixed for the length of the drying cycle and is limited by the variator programming.

DRUM SPEED

55%

95
 The value of this parameter is given as a % of the maximum value that the drum can turn. If
this value is not modified by the user, each dryer model will have a rotation speed corresponding to
the nominal speed.

A table is attached below indicating the nominal speed for each model and the minimum and
maximum limits of the variation range in %. Any value outside these ranges will be omitted by the
software, and the appliance will only operate within the range limits (either the maximum or minimum
limit).

Nominal Nominal Minimum Minimum Maximum Maximum

speed value(%) speed Limit (%) speed Limit (%)
Model (rpm) (rpm) (rpm)

S-900/S-1200/S-1500 37 55 30 45 43 65

To maximise safety, the frequency variator of each model is limited by programming to the
minimum and maximum speed values given in this table to prevent these limits from being exceeded
from the configuration of this menu.

9. MAINTENANCE

The dryer's worst enemy is the fluff on clothes. The machine in general and its parts must not
have any fluff that might hinder its operation.

The machine must be vacuumed and generally cleaned once a month.

96
The machine's performance is largely determined by the cleanliness of its components.

Bearing greasing is permanent for the machine's entire useful life.

9.1. Fluff filter

It is advisable once every 4 or 6 hours of operation to clean the fluff filter to obtain maximum
performance in the machine.

To clean the filter, open the lock of the bottom front door, the filter is removed simply sliding it
along the guides, and can then be cleaned. Although the filter does not have to be removed for its
maintenance, we can use brush or a broom directly without having to manipulate it. It is advisable
to empty the fluff into a tank for this purpose. Correct maintenance of the filter will make it easier
for the air to flow and will improve the performance of the appliance. See section 2.1.

9.2. Heating battery

In the case of electrical heating, clean the accumulated fluff and dust in the battery once every
two months to avoid risks.

In the case of steam or thermal oil heating, clean the accumulated fluff and dust in the filter in the
side part of the battery once every two months to avoid risks. After 3 years, thoroughly clean the
battery using compressed air in the direction opposite to the air. Passing the device through the
blades crosswise may damage the blades.

9.3. Air extractor

Check that the extractor blades and outlet conduit is clean once a year. Blades and blocked
conduits prevent the air from circulating.
.

9.4. Transmission belts

The correct tightening of the belt must be checked once a year.

If the belt is not tight enough, it might become prematurely worn. If it is too tight, it might
damage the motor or drum shaft bearings.
