FILTER-DRIERS
The filter-driers used on Manitowoc ice machines
are manufactured to Manitowoc specifications.
The difference between Manitowoc driers and off-
the-shelf driers is in filtration. Manitowoc driers
have dirt-retaining filtration, with fiberglass filters
on both the inlet and outlet ends. This is very
important because ice machines have a back-
flushing action which takes place during every
harvest cycle.
These filter-driers have a very high moisture
removal capability and a good acid removal
capacity.
The size of the filter-drier is important. The
refrigerant charge is critical. Using an improperly
sized filter-drier will cause the ice machine to be
improperly charged with refrigerant.
Important
Driers are covered as a warranty part. The drier
must be replaced any time the system is opened
for repairs.
