3-7   Using the Drying Hopper Air Trap 
Our exclusive air trap assembly in the top of the drying hopper prevents ambient air from 
contaminating the material being dried.  To ensure that air does not enter the drying system, 
do the following (See Figure 10): 
;
  Keep the material level above the bottom edge of the air trap for maximum 
efficiency.  
;
  Use a hopper loader or vacuum conveying system to maintain the proper material 
level.
