Residence Time - The time your material supplier has determined that the material
in use must be heated to its drying temperature to achieve proper drying.
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Material residence time is
too long or short.
Material level in hopper is too low.
Make sure there is an adequate supply of
material to feed the loader on top of the
drying hopper.
Correct any problems with the conveying system that may be preventing your
loader from filling the hopper.
If your hopper has a level sensor for
maintaining a material level less than
completely full, be sure this sensor is
adjusted properly.
Material throughput is too high.
