FILTER-DRIERS
The filter-driers used on Manitowoc ice machines are
manufactured to Manitowoc specifications.
The difference between a Manitowoc drier and an off-
the-shelf drier is in filtration. A Manitowoc drier has
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 that takes
place during every Harvest cycle.
A Manitowoc filter-drier has high moisture and acid
removal capability.
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.
Refer to the parts section in the Electronic Document
Catalog for the current field replacement drier for the
model.
Important
Driers are covered as a warranty part. The drier
must be replaced any time the system is opened for
repairs.
