Great addition to your operation. Congrats!

Where is the exhaust on this dryer?

nice catch, not set up yet. exhaust will be on this side of the control panel. the electric, gas and air intake (so we are not using the air conditioned air for combustion) will be installed in next few days.
Landlord wanted the dryer in place before running everything.

Stays in the middle or goes though the wall like the old one?

Congrats, I'll have to stop by one of these days to check the new layout without the embroidery in the room.
I should be done with my living room project over the weekend and I should have more time from next week on.

The crate was a work of art, the truck line refused it skidded and strapped.  Pierre was a joy to deal with, everything fell right into place. 

I have 3 servo drive electric head presses for sale, a few nice ovens also three folder,bagger & drop conveyor lines.

Good move, Pierre. You should be very happy once it's up and running. Hopefully, there will be no problems...

Pierre,

What is that amazing looking press you have. I wish I had one just like it. In long beach they had a 8 color and I was surprised how much smaller the foot print was. Your center piece is way smaller then a 10 color.

Great looking shop.

That place looks like a dump :).  Wish I had AC.  So that's where the magic happens huh?  I guess I could work in those conditions if I really had to.  >Sarcastic smiley here<

Pierre,

Suggest you use a large diameter pipe for the gas feed especially if the pipe run is a significant distance from meter, these large gas burners do not like to be starved for fuel. Also make certain you have plenty of fresh make up air, you can suck that room dry of oxygen quickly especially in winter when all the doors are closed.

Certain gaskets wouldn't give way if you were in a/c ;).

I am gonna gues it's next to an Anatol that just had all it's lines replaced recently! Also, another guess, that thing is at least $25k new if not more!

the interchange is a better unit, or so I've been told.  The problem with these is Adelco is based in the UK, so support and parts are harder to get.  The interchange is virtually made from off the shelf gas parts that you can get at industrial gas supply companies.  Grainger will carry a few parts, but not all.  The Adelco costs more and also has fewer people that know how to work on one.

Correct on both. Its a dual belt reciprocating dryer. I had service done by a local machine shop. UK no help.

Your gonna LOVE gas - it's the way to go. We don't discharge here in the desert but you have been here and have seen how cool it is to have gas.
