MAIN FUNCTIONS:

Phase 1

Product discharge starts with agitator rotating in its highest position. Agitator is slowly lowered in order to control the rate of discharge.

Once agitator comes to the lowest point of its stroke, phase 1 ends and heel remains in the filter-dryer.

Phase 2

At the end of phase 1, agitator is in the lowest position and rotates clockwise.

Through an independent circuit, gas is injected into nozzles located on one of the agitator arms.
