air coming out of the desiccant tank prior to entering the 
process heater box. 
•  * If the dryer is a central dry air generator, it will not have a process heater box.

2-5 Safety 
Devices and Interlocks 
This section includes information on safety devices and procedures that are inherent to the 
Dryer. This manual is not intended to supersede or alter safety standards established by the 
user of this equipment. Instead, the material contained in this section is recommended to 
supplement these procedures in order to provide a safer working environment. 
At the completion of this section, the operator and maintenance personnel will be able to do 
the following: 
•  Identify and locate specific safety devices. 
•  Understand the proper use of the safety devices provided. 
•  Describe the function of the safety device. 
Safety Circuit Standards 
Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel 
from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for 
servicing equipment. 
Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to the 
design and manufacture of automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial council (JIC) are just a few of the 
organizations that have joined with the plastics industry to develop safety standards.
